Subject: re: efi: Add 'capsule' update support
Date: Mon, 2 May 2016 21:25:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160502182500.GA3461@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Matt Fleming,
The patch f0133f3c5b8b: "efi: Add 'capsule' update support" from Apr
25, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/firmware/efi/capsule.c:109 efi_capsule_supported()
warn: did you mean to pass the address of 'capsule'
drivers/firmware/efi/capsule.c
91 int efi_capsule_supported(efi_guid_t guid, u32 flags, size_t size, int *reset)
92 {
93 efi_capsule_header_t *capsule;
94 efi_status_t status;
95 u64 max_size;
96 int rv = 0;
97
98 if (flags & ~EFI_CAPSULE_SUPPORTED_FLAG_MASK)
99 return -EINVAL;
100
101 capsule = kmalloc(sizeof(*capsule), GFP_KERNEL);
102 if (!capsule)
103 return -ENOMEM;
104
105 capsule->headersize = capsule->imagesize = sizeof(*capsule);
106 memcpy(&capsule->guid, &guid, sizeof(efi_guid_t));
107 capsule->flags = flags;
108
109 status = efi.query_capsule_caps(&capsule, 1, &max_size, reset);
^^^^^^^^
If we modify capsule inside this function call then at the end of the
function we aren't freeing the original pointer that we allocated.
110 if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
111 rv = efi_status_to_err(status);
112 goto out;
113 }
114
115 if (size > max_size)
116 rv = -ENOSPC;
117 out:
118 kfree(capsule);
119 return rv;
120 }
regards,
dan carpenter
