> Fix this by reordering the dereference after the sanity checks.
Can my previous patch review contribution trigger more desirable collateral evolution
also for this development topic?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/6f01f71b-284b-4841-bda9-a3934cb4efc8@web.de/
https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/3/10/696
Is any automated source code analysis involved here?
Regards,
Markus
