Smatch called out a warning for null checking a ptr that is assigned by list_entry(). list_entry() does not return null and, if the list is empty, can return an invalid ptr. Thus, the !psrp check does not execute properly. drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c:2133 lpfc_cmpl_els_plogi() warn: list_entry() does not return NULL 'prsp' Replace list_entry() with list_get_first(), which does a list_empty() check before returning the first entry.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
