Having another look at this, I do not think so. The loop preceding the if is: for (i = 0; i < host->n_ports; i++) { struct ata_port *ap = host->ports[i]; ata_finalize_port_ops(ap->ops); if (!host->ops && !ata_port_is_dummy(ap)) host->ops = ap->ops; if (ap->ops->port_stop) have_stop = 1; } So have_stop is set based on the port_stop operation of the port. The "if" tests the host operation host_stop, so not the same thing. The kernel bot warnings I got complain about the fact that the host ops may not be set by the loop and can be null if the host ops are not already set and all ports are dummy ones. In practice, I do not think that can happen. The patch does not change anything and will only silence static checkers. > > James > > -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research

The loop on entry of ata_host_start() may not initialize host->ops to a non NULL value. The test on the host_stop field of host->ops must then be preceded by a check that host->ops is not NULL.
