Dan reported this:
The patch 2984c8684f96: "nullb: factor disk parameters" from Aug 14,
2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/block/null_blk.c:1759 null_init_tag_set()
error: we previously assumed 'nullb' could be null (see line
1750)
1755 set->cmd_size = sizeof(struct nullb_cmd);
1756 set->flags = BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE;
1757 set->driver_data = NULL;
1758
1759 if (nullb->dev->blocking)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And an unchecked dereference.
nullb could be NULL here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
