Subject: [PATCH v2 11/13] examples/ethtool: fix exit flag and unchecked cmdline
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 10:03:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907170454.351647-12-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907170454.351647-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The exit_now flag is polled by worker_main() on one lcore and set by
main() on another, but is a plain int so the load can be hoisted out
of the loop. Make it volatile.
Also check the cmdline_stdin_new() result before using it.
Found by gcc -fanalyzer.
Fixes: bda68ab9d1e7 ("examples/ethtool: add user-space ethtool sample application")
