Hi,
Analysis of linux with Coverity has detected an issue with the
assignment of ictx->xstorm_st_context.common.fla in
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/cnic.c in function cnic_setup_bnx2x_ctx.
This was introduced a while back with the following commit:
commit 619c5cb6885b936c44ae1422ef805b69c6291485
Author: Vlad Zolotarov <vl...@broadcom.com>
Date: Tue Jun 14 14:33:44 2011 +0300
New 7.0 FW: bnx2x, cnic, bnx2i, bnx2fc
The static analysis is as follows:
1761 ictx->xstorm_st_context.common.flags =
Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE)assigned_value: Assigning value 1 to
ictx->xstorm_st_context.common.flags here, but that stored value is
overwritten before it can be used.
1762 1 <<
XSTORM_COMMON_CONTEXT_SECTION_PHYSQ_INITIALIZED_SHIFT;
1763 ictx->xstorm_st_context.common.flags =
value_overwrite: Overwriting previous write to
ictx->xstorm_st_context.common.flags with value from port << 1.
1764 port << XSTORM_COMMON_CONTEXT_SECTION_PBF_PORT_SHIFT;
1765
1766 ictx->tstorm_st_context.iscsi.hdr_bytes_2_fetch =
ISCSI_HEADER_SIZE;
The re-assignment of ictx->xstorm_st_context.common.flags in line 1763
is overwriting the value assigned on line 1761. Should the = operator
on the re-assignment be an |= operator instead?
