Hello Neerav Parikh,
The patch afb3ff0da4f5: "i40e: implement DCB support infastructure"
from Jan 17, 2014, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_dcb.c:342
i40e_lldp_to_dcb_config() warn: 'tlv' can't be NULL."
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_dcb.c
339 /* set to the start of LLDPDU */
340 lldpmib += ETH_HLEN;
lldpmib is non-NULL.
341 tlv = (struct i40e_lldp_org_tlv *)lldpmib;
tlv is non-NULL.
342 while (tlv) {
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is always true. Better to say "while (1) {" or maybe some other
test was intended?
343 typelength = ntohs(tlv->typelength);
344 type = (u16)((typelength & I40E_LLDP_TLV_TYPE_MASK) >>
345 I40E_LLDP_TLV_TYPE_SHIFT);
346 length = (u16)((typelength & I40E_LLDP_TLV_LEN_MASK) >>
347 I40E_LLDP_TLV_LEN_SHIFT);
348
349 if (type == I40E_TLV_TYPE_END)
350 break;/* END TLV break out */
351
352 switch (type) {
353 case I40E_TLV_TYPE_ORG:
354 i40e_parse_org_tlv(tlv, dcbcfg);
355 break;
356 default:
357 break;
358 }
359
360 /* Move to next TLV */
361 tlv = (struct i40e_lldp_org_tlv *)((char *)tlv +
362
sizeof(tlv->typelength) +
363 length);
We keep adding numbers to tlv and it becomes even more non-zero.
364 }

dan carpenter
