Subject: re: qlcnic: flash template based firmware reset recovery
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 11:46:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140130114628.GA12734@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hello Sony Chacko,
The patch 81d0aeb0a4ff: "qlcnic: flash template based firmware reset
recovery" from Jan 1, 2013, leads to the following static checker
warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlcnic/qlcnic_83xx_init.c:1756
qlcnic_83xx_poll_list()
warn: we tested 'delay' before and it was 'true'
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlcnic/qlcnic_83xx_init.c
1745 delay = (long)p_hdr->delay;
1746
1747 if (!delay) {
^^^^^^
1748 for (i = 0; i < p_hdr->count; i++, entry++)
1749 qlcnic_83xx_poll_reg(p_dev, entry->arg1,
1750 delay, poll->mask,
1751 poll->status);
1752 } else {
1753 for (i = 0; i < p_hdr->count; i++, entry++) {
1754 arg1 = entry->arg1;
1755 arg2 = entry->arg2;
1756 if (delay) {
^^^^^
"delay" is non-zero here. No need to check again.
1757 if (qlcnic_83xx_poll_reg(p_dev,
1758 arg1, delay,
1759 poll->mask,
1760 poll->status)){
1761 QLCRD32(p_dev, arg1, &err);
1762 if (err = -EIO)
1763 return;
1764 QLCRD32(p_dev, arg2, &err);
1765 if (err = -EIO)
1766 return;
But my main reason for emailing is that I'm confused by the error
handling here. qlcnic_83xx_poll_reg() returns zero on success or
positive timeout or a negative error code. How does calling
QLCRD32() fix the error?
1767 }
1768 }
1769 }
1770 }
regards,
dan carpenter
