Hello!

This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits:

Coverity reported the following:

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
