Subject: bug report: iwlwifi: mvm: support mac80211 TXQs model
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 14:40:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <427786ae-159a-a7d1-2334-46656d3f2b51@canonical.com> (raw)
Hi,
Static analysis by CoverityScan has detected an uninitialized variable
error in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac-ctxt.c
Variable used_hw_queues in iwl_mvm_mac_ctxt_init() is no longer being
assigned an initial value, causing garbage to be found when calling
find_first_zero_bit() on used_hw_queues.
CoverityScan reports this as follows:
363 for (ac = 0; ac < IEEE80211_NUM_ACS; ac++) {
CID 1477001 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)
uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value used_hw_queues when
calling find_first_zero_bit.
364 u8 queue = find_first_zero_bit(&used_hw_queues,
queue_limit);
365
This issue was caused by the following commit:
cfbc6c4c5b91c7725ef14465b98ac347d31f2334 ("iwlwifi: mvm: support
mac80211 TXQs model")
..when the used_hw_queues initialization was removed:

* In the case we're getting here during resume, it's similar to

I'm not 100% sure if the right thing to do is just to now initialize
used_hw_queues to zero; it's not entirely clear what the initial value
should be now.
