[ This is really really ancient code. - dan ] Hello Rupjyoti Sarmah,
The patch 3fb7933850fa: "powerpc/4xx: Adding PCIe MSI support" from Mar 29, 2011, leads to the following static checker warning: arch/powerpc/platforms/4xx/msi.c:100 ppc4xx_setup_msi_irqs() warn: 'int_no >= 0' 'false' implies 'int_no < 0' is 'true' arch/powerpc/platforms/4xx/msi.c 79 static int ppc4xx_setup_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev, int nvec, int type) 80 { 81 int int_no = -ENOMEM; 82 unsigned int virq; 83 struct msi_msg msg; 84 struct msi_desc *entry; 85 struct ppc4xx_msi *msi_data = &ppc4xx_msi; 86 87 dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "PCIE-MSI:%s called. vec %x type %d\n", 88 __func__, nvec, type); 89 if (type == PCI_CAP_ID_MSIX) 90 pr_debug("ppc4xx msi: MSI-X untested, trying anyway.\n"); 91 92 msi_data->msi_virqs = kmalloc((msi_irqs) * sizeof(int), GFP_KERNEL); 93 if (!msi_data->msi_virqs) 94 return -ENOMEM; 95 96 for_each_pci_msi_entry(entry, dev) { 97 int_no = msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs(&msi_data->bitmap, 1); 98 if (int_no >= 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^ 99 break; 100 if (int_no < 0) { ^^^^^^^^^^ Smatch is saying that this check could be removed, which is true. 101 pr_debug("%s: fail allocating msi interrupt\n", 102 __func__); 103 } 104 virq = irq_of_parse_and_map(msi_data->msi_dev, int_no); ^^^^^^ It doesn't seem right to pass negative indexes to irq_of_parse_and_map(). It could result in a read before the start of the array in of_irq_parse_oldworld(), I think. 105 if (!virq) { 106 dev_err(&dev->dev, "%s: fail mapping irq\n", __func__); 107 msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs(&msi_data->bitmap, int_no, 1); 108 return -ENOSPC; 109 } 110 dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "%s: virq = %d\n", __func__, virq); 111 112 /* Setup msi address space */ 113 msg.address_hi = msi_data->msi_addr_hi; 114 msg.address_lo = msi_data->msi_addr_lo; 115 116 irq_set_msi_desc(virq, entry); 117 msg.data = int_no; 118 pci_write_msi_msg(virq, &msg); 119 } 120 return 0; 121 } regards, dan carpenter
