There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference.

Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

    Assignments shouldn't be put into *if* statement. If you did run the patch 
thru scripts/checkpatch.pl, it would have told you.

    Parens not needed. Could as well fix it here...

Hi  Sergei

I did not put the assignment in the if statement. Is it meant for me
to change all the code around the parts I fix?
There are many assignments in if in the l3dss1_cmd_global() funktion.


It's late and I'm tired, but I still can not see which of these pairs
of features that I can remove ...?

            if (ic->parm.dss1_io.timeout > 0) {
                if (!(pc = dss1_new_l3_process(st, -1))) {
                    free_invoke_id(st, id);
                    return (-2);
                }
                pc->prot.dss1.ll_id = ic->parm.dss1_io.ll_id; /* remember id */
                pc->prot.dss1.proc = ic->parm.dss1_io.proc; /* and procedure */
            }


Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist

    You didn't but you changed the line it's on (which wasn't required BTW).

    No, the patch just needs to be checkpatch.pl-clean.

    You can leave them alone for now. You can also leave alone the line I was 
referring to.

    I didn't quite get the question, if you were asking me.
