Subject: [bug report] cxgb4: add common api support for configuring filters
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2016 11:05:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161124110502.GD17225@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Rahul Lakkireddy,
The patch 578b46b9383c: "cxgb4: add common api support for
configuring filters" from Sep 20, 2016, leads to the following static
checker warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_filter.c:537 __cxgb4_set_filter()
warn: we tested 'f->valid' before and it was 'false'
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_filter.c
512 /* Check to make sure that provided filter index is not
513 * already in use by someone else
514 */
515 f = &adapter->tids.ftid_tab[filter_id];
516 if (f->valid)
517 return -EBUSY;
If valid is set, then we return -EBUSY.
518
519 fidx = filter_id + adapter->tids.ftid_base;
520 ret = cxgb4_set_ftid(&adapter->tids, filter_id,
521 fs->type ? PF_INET6 : PF_INET);
522 if (ret)
523 return ret;
524
525 /* Check to make sure the filter requested is writable ... */
526 ret = writable_filter(f);
527 if (ret) {
528 /* Clear the bits we have set above */
529 cxgb4_clear_ftid(&adapter->tids, filter_id,
530 fs->type ? PF_INET6 : PF_INET);
531 return ret;
532 }
533
534 /* Clear out any old resources being used by the filter before
535 * we start constructing the new filter.
536 */
537 if (f->valid)
538 clear_filter(adapter, f);
So probably these lines can be removed?
539
540 /* Convert the filter specification into our internal format.
541 * We copy the PF/VF specification into the Outer VLAN field
542 * here so the rest of the code -- including the interface to
543 * the firmware -- doesn't have to constantly do these checks.
544 */
regards,
dan carpenter
