Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/gvt: don't dereference 'workload' before null checking it

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

The pointer workload is dereferenced before it is null checked, hence
there is a potential for a null pointer dereference on workload. Fix
this by only dereferencing workload after it is null checked.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1466017 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: fa3dd623e559 ("drm/i915/gvt: keep oa config in shadow ctx")

Maybe true, but is it possible for workload to be null?
Maybe the null test should be removed instead.

From what I understand from the static analysis, there may be a
potential for workload to be null, I couldn't rule it out so I went with
the more paranoid stance of keeping the null check in.

workload cannot be null here.

Look at the uses of sr_oa_regs and see that
workload has already been dereferenced.

Not sr_oa_regs() problem if workload is NULL, that's the callers. I
reviewed the identical patch yesterday, and we ended up with removing
the NULL checks, just keeping the workload->id != RCS.
