Before the testing, we already passed it to rxe_mr_copy() where mr could be dereferenced. so this checking is not needed. The only way that mr is NULL is when it reaches below line 780 with 'qp->resp.mr = NULL', which is not possible in Bob's explanation[1]. 778 if (res->state == rdatm_res_state_new) { 779 if (!res->replay) { 780 mr = qp->resp.mr; 781 qp->resp.mr = NULL; 782 } else { [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/30ff25c4-ce66-eac4-eaa2-64c0db203a19@gmail.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1666582315-2-1-git-send-email-lizhijian@fujitsu.com CC: Bob Pearson <rpearsonhpe@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Li Zhijian <lizhijian@fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Bob Pearson <rpearsonhpe@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org>
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.
