Subject: [bug report] xen/blkback: Prefix 'vbd' with 'xen' in structs and functions.
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2020 13:24:49 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201109102449.GA2454565@mwanda> (raw)
[ This is an ancient bug and it's too old to know who to blame. But
what I know is that it probably has nothing to do with changing the
prefix from vbd_ to xen_ so my blame scripts are likely wrong. - dan ]
Hello Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 3d814731ba67: "xen/blkback: Prefix 'vbd' with 'xen' in
structs and functions." from May 12, 2011, leads to the following
Smatch complaint:
drivers/block/xen-blkback/xenbus.c:510 xen_vbd_create()
error: we previously assumed 'vbd->bdev->bd_disk' could be null (see line 507)
drivers/block/xen-blkback/xenbus.c
506 vbd->bdev = bdev;
507 if (vbd->bdev->bd_disk == NULL) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If vbd->bdev->bd_disk is NULL then we are toasted.
508 pr_warn("xen_vbd_create: device %08x doesn't exist\n",
509 vbd->pdevice);
510 xen_vbd_free(vbd);
The disk_flush_events(bdev->bd_disk, DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE); call in
blkdev_put() will Oops.
511 return -ENOENT;
512 }
regards,
dan carpenter
