Subject: [bug report] net: Prepare gro for packet consuming gro callbacks
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 20:11:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170216201127.GA11170@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Steffen Klassert,
The patch 25393d3fc055: "net: Prepare gro for packet consuming gro
callbacks" from Feb 15, 2017, leads to the following Smatch
warning:
net/core/dev.c:4522 dev_gro_receive()
error: 'pp' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
net/core/dev.c
4510 if (&ptype->list = head)
4511 goto normal;
4512
4513 if (IS_ERR(pp) && PTR_ERR(pp) = -EINPROGRESS) {
Smatch sees this and assumes that it's possible for "pp" to be an error
pointer that's not -EINPROGRESS.
4514 ret = GRO_CONSUMED;
4515 goto ok;
4516 }
4517
4518 same_flow = NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->same_flow;
4519 ret = NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->free ? GRO_MERGED_FREE : GRO_MERGED;
4520
4521 if (pp) {
4522 struct sk_buff *nskb = *pp;
^^^
Leading to an oops.
4523
4524 *pp = nskb->next;
4525 nskb->next = NULL;
4526 napi_gro_complete(nskb);
4527 napi->gro_count--;
4528 }
regards,
dan carpenter
