Subject: [bug report] vxlan: add adjacent link to limit depth level
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 14:52:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191029145247.GA24739@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Taehee Yoo,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 0ce1822c2a08: "vxlan: add adjacent link to limit depth
level" from Oct 21, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/vxlan.c:4012 vxlan_changelink()
error: we previously assumed 'lowerdev' could be null (see line 4009)
drivers/net/vxlan.c
4008 netdev_adjacent_change_commit(dst->remote_dev, lowerdev, dev);
4009 if (lowerdev && lowerdev != dst->remote_dev)
^^^^^^^^
The patch adds a check for NULL,
4010 dst->remote_dev = lowerdev;
4011
4012 netdev_update_lockdep_key(lowerdev);
^^^^^^^^
but it also adds a new unchecked dereference (inside the function).
4013 vxlan_config_apply(dev, &conf, lowerdev, vxlan->net, true);
4014 return 0;
regards,
dan carpenter
