Dan,

These are all the Spectre media issues I see smatch is reporting in
linux-next-20180515:

drivers/media/cec/cec-pin-error-inj.c:170 cec_pin_error_inj_parse_line()
warn: potential spectre issue 'pin->error_inj_args'
drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c:1479 dvb_ca_en50221_io_write()
warn: potential spectre issue 'ca->slot_info' (local cap)
drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_net.c:252 handle_one_ule_extension() warn:
potential spectre issue 'p->ule_next_hdr'

I pulled the latest changes from the smatch repository and compiled it.

I'm running smatch v0.5.0-4459-g2f66d40 now. Is this the latest version?

I wonder if there is anything I might be missing.

Thanks
