From 4b3be6afa4ab8b3fdce39df68bad71f8b85164de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:33:22 +0200 Subject: ALSA: sound: Move dereference after NULL test and drop unnecessary NULL tests In pcm.c, if the NULL test on pcm is needed, then the dereference should be after the NULL test. In dummy.c and ali5451.c, the context of the calls to snd_card_dummy_new_mixer and snd_ali_free_voice show that dummy and pvoice, respectively cannot be NULL. A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; @@ * x->fld ... when != \(x = E\|&x\) * x == NULL // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai --- sound/drivers/dummy.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'sound/drivers') diff --git a/sound/drivers/dummy.c b/sound/drivers/dummy.c index 6ba066c41d2..146ef00f94a 100644 --- a/sound/drivers/dummy.c +++ b/sound/drivers/dummy.c @@ -808,8 +808,6 @@ static int __devinit snd_card_dummy_new_mixer(struct snd_dummy *dummy) unsigned int idx; int err; - if (snd_BUG_ON(!dummy)) - return -EINVAL; spin_lock_init(&dummy->mixer_lock); strcpy(card->mixername, "Dummy Mixer"); -- cgit v1.2.3
