Message-ID: <20160212204515.GA21611@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Maxim Levitsky,
The patch 0ab30494bc4f: "memstick: add support for legacy
memorysticks" from Sep 11, 2013, leads to the following static
checker warning:
drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.c:84 msb_sg_copy()
warn: should this be 'to_nents = -1'
drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.c
40 static size_t msb_sg_copy(struct scatterlist *sg_from,
41 struct scatterlist *sg_to, int to_nents, size_t offset, size_t len)
42 {
43 size_t copied = 0;
44
45 while (offset > 0) {
46 if (offset >= sg_from->length) {
47 if (sg_is_last(sg_from))
48 return 0;
49
50 offset -= sg_from->length;
51 sg_from = sg_next(sg_from);
52 continue;
53 }
54
55 copied = min(len, sg_from->length - offset);
56 sg_set_page(sg_to, sg_page(sg_from),
57 copied, sg_from->offset + offset);
58
59 len -= copied;
60 offset = 0;
61
62 if (sg_is_last(sg_from) || !len)
63 goto out;
64
65 sg_to = sg_next(sg_to);
66 to_nents--;
^^^^^^^^^^^
67 sg_from = sg_next(sg_from);
68 }
69
70 while (len > sg_from->length && to_nents--) {
This is a post-op so we exit with to_nents = -1. It feels like this
should be to_nents-- >= 0 because of the earlier decremenet. Int the
worst case that seems like a harmless change which improves readiblity.
71 len -= sg_from->length;
72 copied += sg_from->length;
73
74 sg_set_page(sg_to, sg_page(sg_from),
75 sg_from->length, sg_from->offset);
76
77 if (sg_is_last(sg_from) || !len)
78 goto out;
79
80 sg_from = sg_next(sg_from);
81 sg_to = sg_next(sg_to);
82 }
83
84 if (len && to_nents) {
This looks buggy. It should probably as well be:
if (len && to_nents >= 0) {
85 sg_set_page(sg_to, sg_page(sg_from), len, sg_from->offset);
86 copied += len;
87 }
88 out:
89 sg_mark_end(sg_to);
90 return copied;
91 }
regards,
dan carpenter
