From 71362650b555a5b24c732e455484cc7cac1c8588 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juri Lelli Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:03:51 +0100 Subject: sched/deadline: No need to check p if dl_se is valid Dan Carpenter reported new 'Smatch' warnings: > tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched/core > head: 130816ce4d5f69167324f7272e70aa3d641677c6 > commit: 1baca4ce16b8cc7d4f50be1f7914799af30a2861 [17/50] sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE SMP-related data structures & logic > > kernel/sched/deadline.c:937 pick_next_task_dl() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'p' (see line 934) BUG_ON() already fires if pick_next_dl_entity() doesn't return a valid dl_se. No need to check if p is valid afterward.
