Subject: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: move nf_tables base hook annotation to init helper
Date: Tue,  8 Jun 2021 23:06:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210608210607.13325-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

coverity scanner says:
2187  if (nft_is_base_chain(chain)) {
vvv   CID 1505166:  Memory - corruptions  (UNINIT)
vvv   Using uninitialized value "basechain".
2188  basechain->ops.hook_ops_type = NF_HOOK_OP_NF_TABLES;

... I don't see how nft_is_base_chain() can evaluate to true
while basechain pointer is garbage.

However, it seems better to place the NF_HOOK_OP_NF_TABLES annotation
in nft_basechain_hook_init() instead.
