Message-ID: <20160413064017.GA8092@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Peter Senna Tschudin,
The patch 07d783fd830a: "staging: goldfish: Fix pointer cast for 32
bits" from May 19, 2015, leads to the following static checker
warning:
drivers/tty/goldfish.c:83 goldfish_tty_interrupt()
error: XXX uninitialized symbol 'buf'.
drivers/tty/goldfish.c
69 static irqreturn_t goldfish_tty_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id)
70 {
71 struct goldfish_tty *qtty = dev_id;
72 void __iomem *base = qtty->base;
73 unsigned long irq_flags;
74 unsigned char *buf;
75 u32 count;
76
77 count = readl(base + GOLDFISH_TTY_BYTES_READY);
78 if (count = 0)
79 return IRQ_NONE;
80
81 count = tty_prepare_flip_string(&qtty->port, &buf, count);
If tty_prepare_flip_string() returns size zero because there is no space
then "buf" is uninitialized.
82 spin_lock_irqsave(&qtty->lock, irq_flags);
83 gf_write_ptr(buf, base + GOLDFISH_TTY_DATA_PTR,
84 base + GOLDFISH_TTY_DATA_PTR_HIGH);
85 writel(count, base + GOLDFISH_TTY_DATA_LEN);
86 writel(GOLDFISH_TTY_CMD_READ_BUFFER, base + GOLDFISH_TTY_CMD);
87 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&qtty->lock, irq_flags);
88 tty_schedule_flip(&qtty->port);
89 return IRQ_HANDLED;
90 }
regards,
dan carpenter
