X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~570^2~273
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1db90ea239b85479daedb978ea2f0a61776f074f;p=linux.git

[SCSI] hptiop: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference

The end of the function is reachable both when host is and is not NULL.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
expression E,E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if ((E == NULL && ...) || ...)
{
  ... when != if (...) S1 else S2
      when != E = E1
* E->f
  ... when any
  return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>
