From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:28:52 +0000 Subject: [patch] edac: sb_edac: add sanity check to silence static checker Message-Id: <20111101062852.GA19020@elgon.mountain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Cc: "Mark A. Grondona" , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org I assume the the check on if (limit <= prv) prevents n_tads from actually reaching MAX_TAD. The problem with that is that it relies on the hardware returning the right value and Smatch complains that if it doesn't we could have a buffer overflow.
