Message-ID: <20151215200437.GA22468@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Joe Carnuccio,
The patch 299f5e27ac5f: "qla2xxx: ISP27xx add tests for incomplete
template." from Sep 25, 2014, leads to the following static checker
warning:
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_tmpl.c:779 qla27xx_walk_template()
warn: should this be 'count == -1'
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_tmpl.c
764 static void
765 qla27xx_walk_template(struct scsi_qla_host *vha,
766 struct qla27xx_fwdt_template *tmp, void *buf, ulong *len)
767 {
768 struct qla27xx_fwdt_entry *ent = (void *)tmp + tmp->entry_offset;
769 ulong count = tmp->entry_count;
770
771 ql_dbg(ql_dbg_misc, vha, 0xd01a,
772 "%s: entry count %lx\n", __func__, count);
773 while (count--) {
774 if (qla27xx_find_entry(ent->hdr.entry_type)(vha, ent, buf, len))
775 break;
776 ent = qla27xx_next_entry(ent);
777 }
778
779 if (count)
780 ql_dbg(ql_dbg_misc, vha, 0xd018,
781 "%s: residual count (%lx)\n", __func__, count);
The static checker assumes that we are testing to see if the loop ended
with a break or not. These are normally bugs because if we did not
break the count is set to (ulong)-1.
This code is sort of weird. It's just debugging so I guess it doesn't
matter. Are we expecting -1?
782
783 if (ent->hdr.entry_type != ENTRY_TYPE_TMP_END)
784 ql_dbg(ql_dbg_misc, vha, 0xd019,
785 "%s: missing end (%lx)\n", __func__, count);
786
787 ql_dbg(ql_dbg_misc, vha, 0xd01b,
788 "%s: len=%lx\n", __func__, *len);
789
790 if (buf) {
791 ql_log(ql_log_warn, vha, 0xd015,
792 "Firmware dump saved to temp buffer (%ld/%p)\n",
793 vha->host_no, vha->hw->fw_dump);
794 qla2x00_post_uevent_work(vha, QLA_UEVENT_CODE_FW_DUMP);
795 }
796 }
regards,
dan carpenter
