Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ppc/pnv: use a do-while() loop in pnv_phb3_translate_tve()
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2022 17:14:37 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220126201438.822457-2-danielhb413@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220126201438.822457-1-danielhb413@gmail.com>

The 'taddr' variable is left unintialized, being set only inside the
"while ((lev--) >= 0)" loop where we get the TCE address. The 'lev' var
is an int32_t that is being initiliazed by the GETFIELD() macro, which
returns an uint64_t.

For a human reader this means that 'lev' will always be positive or zero.
But some compilers may beg to differ. 'lev' being an int32_t can in theory
be set as negative, and the "while ((lev--) >= 0)" loop might never be
reached, and 'taddr' will be left unitialized. This can cause phb3_error()
to use 'taddr' uninitialized down below:

if ((is_write & !(tce & 2)) || ((!is_write) && !(tce & 1))) {
    phb3_error(phb, "TCE access fault at 0x%"PRIx64, taddr);

A quick way of fixing it is to use a do/while() loop. This will keep the
same semanting as the existing while() loop does and the compiler will
understand that 'taddr' will be initialized at least once.
