Static analysis tools (cppcheck and PVS Studio) report an error
in loopback_snd_timer_period_elapsed() regarding dpcm_play pointer
dereference earlier than its null-check. And although this is a result
of a formal check, and the pointer correctness is also protected
by having a corresponding bit set in the "running" mask, re-ordering
of the lines can imake the code even formally correct and eliminate
those static analysis error reports.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
