Hello Michał Mirosław,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 8b4c62aef6f6: "usb: gadget: u_serial: process RX in
workqueue instead of tasklet" from Dec 16, 2018, leads to the
following Smatch complaint:
drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c:438 gs_rx_push()
error: we previously assumed 'tty' could be null (see line 373)
drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c
372 /* leave data queued if tty was rx throttled */
373 if (tty && tty_throttled(tty))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Other checks for NULL

393 if (req->actual && tty) {
394 char *packet = req->buf;

425 * so we won't get callbacks and can hold port_lock
426 */

430
431 /* We want our data queue to become empty ASAP, keeping data
432 * in the tty and ldisc (not here). If we couldn't push any
433 * this time around, RX may be starved, so wait until next
jiffy.
434 *
435 * We may leave non-empty queue only when there is a tty, and
436 * either it is throttled or there is no more room in flip
buffer.
437 */
438 if (!list_empty(queue) && !tty_throttled(tty))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in the original code there was check for NULL here but the patch removed
it.
