Message-ID: <20160203043407.GA32754@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Paul E. McKenney,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 7f68f317a3d9: "rcutorture: Add RCU grace-period performance
tests" from Dec 31, 2015, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c:486 rcu_perf_cleanup()
error: we previously assumed 'writer_n_durations' could be null (see line 465)
kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c
442 static void
443 rcu_perf_cleanup(void)
444 {
445 int i;
446 int j;
447 int ngps = 0;
448 u64 *wdp;
449 u64 *wdpp;
450
451 if (torture_cleanup_begin())
452 return;
453
454 if (reader_tasks) {
455 for (i = 0; i < nrealreaders; i++)
456 torture_stop_kthread(rcu_perf_reader,
457 reader_tasks[i]);
458 kfree(reader_tasks);
459 }
460
461 if (writer_tasks) {
462 for (i = 0; i < nrealwriters; i++) {
463 torture_stop_kthread(rcu_perf_writer,
464 writer_tasks[i]);
465 if (!writer_n_durations)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can be NULL here.
466 continue;
467 j = writer_n_durations[i];
468 pr_alert("%s%s writer %d gps: %d\n",
469 perf_type, PERF_FLAG, i, j);
470 ngps += j;
471 }
472 pr_alert("%s%s start: %llu end: %llu duration: %llu gps: %d batches: %ld\n",
473 perf_type, PERF_FLAG,
474 t_rcu_perf_writer_started, t_rcu_perf_writer_finished,
475 t_rcu_perf_writer_finished -
476 t_rcu_perf_writer_started,
477 ngps,
478 b_rcu_perf_writer_finished -
479 b_rcu_perf_writer_started);
480 for (i = 0; i < nrealwriters; i++) {
481 if (!writer_durations)
482 break;
483 wdpp = writer_durations[i];
484 if (!wdpp)
485 continue;
486 for (j = 0; j <= writer_n_durations[i]; j++) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference.
487 wdp = &wdpp[j];
488 pr_alert("%s%s %4d writer-duration: %5d %llu\n",
regards,
dan carpenter
