Subject: [PATCH net 9/9] e1000: check return value of e1000_read_eeprom
Date: Mon,  6 Apr 2026 14:30:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406213038.444732-10-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260406213038.444732-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>

From: Agalakov Daniil <ade@amicon.ru>

[Why]
e1000_set_eeprom() performs a read-modify-write operation when the write
range is not word-aligned. This requires reading the first and last words
of the range from the EEPROM to preserve the unmodified bytes.

However, the code does not check the return value of e1000_read_eeprom().
If the read fails, the operation continues using uninitialized data from
eeprom_buff. This results in corrupted data being written back to the
EEPROM for the boundary words.

Add the missing error checks and abort the operation if reading fails.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
