Hi Dan,

Thanks for the report. But this came up during the submission and the
conclusion was that this is a false positive from Smatch.
See the discussions:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/0dce2c1d2f8adccbfbff39118af9796d84404a67.camel@xxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/66ccbb841794c98b91d9e8aba48b90c63caa45e7.camel@xxxxxxxxxx/
You were also part of that thread and you reported no issue on your
side back then:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/fcecb18a-1a30-400d-b8ec-1806d856d145@stanley.mountain/

I am not sure what the conclusion was on the Smatch side, whether there
were planned fixes or the whole thing was just forgotten.

Cosmin.
