Subject: [PATCH] tpm_tis: Fix undefined behavior in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half()
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 15:29:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917153022.18567-1-gunnarku@amazon.com> (raw)
When len is 0, the while loop in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half() never
executes, leaving ret uninitialized. This will lead to undefined
behavior when the function returns.
The issue was introduced when tpm_tis_spi_transfer() was refactored
to call tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half() or tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full().
While ret is properly initialized in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full(), it
was missed in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half().
Initialize ret to 0 at the beginning of the function to ensure
defined behavior in all code paths.
Found by GCC 14.2.0 static analyzer with -fanalyzer.
Fixes: a86a42ac2bd6 ("tpm_tis_spi: Add hardware wait polling")
