Hi, Static analysis with Coverity has detected a duplicated condition in an if statement in the following commit in source kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c
commit bd82631d7ccdc894af2738e47abcba2cb6e7dea9 Author: Tom Zanussi <zanu...@kernel.org> Date: Sun Oct 4 17:14:06 2020 -0500 tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic events Analysis is as follows: 493 for (i = 0; i < event->n_fields; i++) { Same on both sides (CONSTANT_EXPRESSION_RESULT) pointless_expression: The expression event->fields[i]->is_dynamic && event->fields[i]->is_dynamic does not accomplish anything because it evaluates to either of its identical operands, event->fields[i]->is_dynamic. Did you intend the operands to be different? 494 if (event->fields[i]->is_dynamic && 495 event->fields[i]->is_dynamic) 496 pos += snprintf(buf + pos, LEN_OR_ZERO, 497 ", __get_str(%s)", event->fields[i]->name); 498 else 499 pos += snprintf(buf + pos, LEN_OR_ZERO, 500 ", REC->%s", event->fields[i]->name); 501 } Colin
