[bug report] io_uring: free io_buffer_list entries via RCU

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>]

Hello Jens Axboe,

This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch 5cf4f52e6d8a: "io_uring: free io_buffer_list entries via 
RCU" from Nov 27, 2023, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

    io_uring/kbuf.c:766 io_pbuf_get_address()
    warn: variable dereferenced before check 'bl' (see line 764)

io_uring/kbuf.c
   753  void *io_pbuf_get_address(struct io_ring_ctx *ctx, unsigned long bgid)
   754  {
   755          struct io_buffer_list *bl;
   756  
   757          bl = __io_buffer_get_list(ctx, smp_load_acquire(&ctx->io_bl), bgid);
   758  
   759          /*
   760           * Ensure the list is fully setup. Only strictly needed for RCU lookup
   761           * via mmap, and in that case only for the array indexed groups. For
   762           * the xarray lookups, it's either visible and ready, or not at all.
   763           */
   764          if (!smp_load_acquire(&bl->is_ready))
                                      ^^^^^
bl dereferenced here

   765                  return NULL;
   766          if (!bl || !bl->is_mmap)
                    ^^^
Checked for NULL too late.

   767                  return NULL;
   768  
   769          return bl->buf_ring;
   770  }
