We tried to fix this in commit fdc454c148 ("drm/i915: Prevent out of
range pt in gen6_for_each_pde").
But the static analyzer still complains that, just before we break due
to "iter < I915_PDES", we do "pt = (pd)->page_table[iter]" with an
iter value that is bigger than I915_PDES. Of course, this isn't really
a problem since no one uses pt outside the macro. Still, every single
new usage of the macro will create a new issue for us to mark as a
false positive.
Also, Paulo re-started the discussion a while ago [1], but didn't end up
implemented.
In order to "solve" this "problem", this patch takes the ideas from
Chris and Dave, but that check would change the desired behavior of the
code, because the object (for example pdp->page_directory[iter]) can be
null during init/alloc, and C would take this as false, breaking the for
loop immediately.
This has been already verified with "static analysis tools".
