Well that doesn't looks correct to me.

*fence should be valid at this point, why does coccicheck things it is
freed?

*fence is valid. Coccicheck reports this because fence is freed.
But use 'struct dma_fence *' can avoid this wrong report.

I also grep all code and find it's unusual to use 'typeof' in va_arg,
only two files.

grep -R "va_arg("  . | grep 'typeof'
./drivers/dma-buf/st-dma-fence-unwrap.c:                fences[i] =
va_arg(valist, typeof(*fences));
./drivers/dma-buf/st-dma-fence-unwrap.c: dma_fence_put(va_arg(valist,
typeof(*fences)));
./lib/test_scanf.c:             typeof(*expect) got = *va_arg(ap,
typeof(expect));              \

And other files all use declaration name directly.
So I send this patch makes code clearer and fix the wrong warning by the
way.

Thanks,
Wan Jiabing

Well in this case that's just a clear NAK.

Using typeof(*var) is perfectly valid and preferred should the type
change at some point.

As far as I can see your cocci script is somehow reporting a false warning.

Christian.
