Although the old code was technically correct, this was accidental
04161d
and it understandably confused Coverity.  Reported by Ondrej Dubaj in:

04161d
* lib/utimens.c (update_timespec): Change arg type from ‘struct
04161d
timespec *[2]’ (pointer to array of 2 pointers to timespecs) to
04161d
‘struct timespec **’ (pointer to pointer to the first timespec in
04161d
an array of 2 timespecs).  Although the old code happened to be
04161d
technically correct, it was misleading and confused Coverity.
04161d
And though the type ‘struct timespec (**)[2]’ (pointer to pointer
04161d
to array of 2 timespecs) would perhaps be more technically
04161d
correct, it would be almost as confusing and would require changes
04161d
elsewhere in this file; let’s quit while we’re ahead.
