Hi Alexander,
The code above the hunk below, starting at line 3321, is:
if (unlikely(!hdr_len && !skb)) {
hdr_len = idpf_rx_hsplit_wa(hdr, rx_buf, pkt_len);
pkt_len -= hdr_len;
u64_stats_update_begin(&rxq->stats_sync);
u64_stats_inc(&rxq->q_stats.hsplit_buf_ovf);
u64_stats_update_end(&rxq->stats_sync);
}
if (libeth_rx_sync_for_cpu(hdr, hdr_len)) {
skb = idpf_rx_build_skb(hdr, hdr_len);
if (!skb)
break;
u64_stats_update_begin(&rxq->stats_sync);
u64_stats_inc(&rxq->q_stats.hsplit_pkts);
u64_stats_update_end(&rxq->stats_sync);
}

The code following this hunk, ending at line 3372, looks like this:
/* pad skb if needed (to make valid ethernet frame) */
if (eth_skb_pad(skb)) {
skb = NULL;
continue;
}
/* probably a little skewed due to removing CRC */
total_rx_bytes += skb->len;
Smatch warns that:
.../idpf_txrx.c:3372 idpf_rx_splitq_clean() error: we previously assumed 'skb' could be null (see line 3321)
I think, but am not sure, this is because it thinks skb might
be NULL at the point where "goto skip_data;" is now called above.
Could you look into this?
