Subject: [bug report] rpmsg: Handle invalid parameters in public API
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 11:40:30 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170211084030.GA18105@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Bjorn Andersson,
The patch 93e9324431c9: "rpmsg: Handle invalid parameters in public
API" from Oct 18, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_core.c:421 rpmsg_dev_probe()
error: 'ept' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_core.c
60 * Drivers should provide their @rpdev channel (so the new endpoint would belong
61 * to the same remote processor their channel belongs to), an rx callback
62 * function, an optional private data (which is provided back when the
63 * rx callback is invoked), and an address they want to bind with the
64 * callback. If @addr is RPMSG_ADDR_ANY, then rpmsg_create_ept will
65 * dynamically assign them an available rpmsg address (drivers should have
66 * a very good reason why not to always use RPMSG_ADDR_ANY here).
67 *
68 * Returns a pointer to the endpoint on success, or NULL on error.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
69 */
70 struct rpmsg_endpoint *rpmsg_create_ept(struct rpmsg_device *rpdev,
71 rpmsg_rx_cb_t cb, void *priv,
72 struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo)
73 {
74 if (WARN_ON(!rpdev))
75 return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
The callers aren't expecting error pointers. I could filter out this
one because Smatch knows it's impossible for that caller because rpdev
isn't NULL, but I feel like this should really return NULL.
76
77 return rpdev->ops->create_ept(rpdev, cb, priv, chinfo);
78 }
regards,
dan carpenter
