Subject: [PATCH] mac802154: Prevent overwrite return code in mac802154_perform_association()
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 12:41:33 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602054133.470293-1-robertusdchris@gmail.com> (raw)
When assoc_status not equal to IEEE802154_ASSOCIATION_SUCCESSFUL, the
return value assigned to either "-ERANGE" or "-EPERM" but this return
value will be overwritten to 0 after exiting the conditional scope.
So, jump to clear_assoc label to preserve the return value when
assoc_status not equal to IEEE802154_ASSOCIATION_SUCCESSFUL.
This is reported by Coverity Scan as "Unused value".
Fixes: fefd19807fe9 ("mac802154: Handle associating")

I am still not sure how to test this change. I look around the function
and use the previous error handler as a guidance to make this change,
like error handler for "No ASSOC REQ ACK received" and "No ASSOC RESP
received".
Thank you.
