Subject: [bug report] liquidio: fix for iq and droq cnts going negative
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2017 09:08:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170206090845.GA14504@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Satanand Burla,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch cdb478e5e413: "liquidio: fix for iq and droq cnts going
negative" from Jan 31, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/lio_main.c:2450 liquidio_napi_poll()
error: we previously assumed 'iq' could be null (see line 2436)
drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/lio_main.c
2435 iq = oct->instr_queue[iq_no];
2436 if (iq) {
^^
Old code assumed "iq" can be NULL.
2437 /* Process iq buffers with in the budget limits */
2438 tx_done = octeon_flush_iq(oct, iq, budget);
2439 /* Update iq read-index rather than waiting for next interrupt.
2440 * Return back if tx_done is false.
2441 */
2442 update_txq_status(oct, iq_no);
2443 } else {
2444 dev_err(&oct->pci_dev->dev, "%s: iq (%d) num invalid\n",
2445 __func__, iq_no);
2446 }
2447
2448 /* force enable interrupt if reg cnts are high to avoid wraparound */
2449 if ((work_done < budget && tx_done) ||
2450 (iq->pkt_in_done >= MAX_REG_CNT) ||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
New code adds unchecked dereference.
2451 (droq->pkt_count >= MAX_REG_CNT)) {
2452 tx_done = 1;
regards,
dan carpenter
