From da5efffc42222d09079a3427b60374a68200d798 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 15:17:07 +0000 Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Correctly NULLify dma buffer pointer on failure cppcheck on lines 917 and 977 show an ineffective assignment to the dma buffer pointer: [drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c:917]: [drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c:977]: (warning) Assignment of function parameter has no effect outside the function. Did you forget dereferencing it? On a successful DMA buffer lookup, the dma buffer pointer is assigned, however, on failure it currently is left in an undefined state. The original intention in the error exit path was to nullify the pointer on an error (which the original code failed to do properly). This patch fixes this also ensures all failure paths nullify the buffer pointer on the error return. Fortunately the callers to vmw_translate_mob_ptr and vmw_translate_guest_ptr are checking on a return status and not on the dma buffer pointer, so the original code worked.
