From 6b81bef8cde141d8d8172a35633af27e17cf487a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:57:18 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB: drivers/media/video/em28xx: Remove potential NULL dereference If the NULL test is necessary, the initialization involving a dereference of the tested value should be moved after the NULL test. The sematic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ type T; expression E; identifier i,fld; statement S; @@ - T i = E->fld; + T i; ... when != E when != i if (E == NULL) S + i = E->fld; // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-video.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-video.c b/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-video.c index 7b9ec6e493e4..95a4b60a1eda 100644 --- a/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-video.c +++ b/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-video.c @@ -277,12 +277,13 @@ static void em28xx_copy_vbi(struct em28xx *dev, { void *startwrite, *startread; int offset; - int bytesperline = dev->vbi_width; + int bytesperline; if (dev == NULL) { em28xx_isocdbg("dev is null\n"); return; } + bytesperline = dev->vbi_width; if (dma_q == NULL) { em28xx_isocdbg("dma_q is null\n"); -- 2.30.2
