    vfio/fsl-mc: trigger an interrupt via eventfd


The analysis is as follows:

106 static int vfio_fsl_mc_set_irq_trigger(struct vfio_fsl_mc_device *vdev,
107                                       unsigned int index, unsigned
int start,
108                                       unsigned int count, u32 flags,
109                                       void *data)
110 {
111        struct fsl_mc_device *mc_dev = vdev->mc_dev;
112        int ret, hwirq;
113        struct vfio_fsl_mc_irq *irq;
114        struct device *cont_dev = fsl_mc_cont_dev(&mc_dev->dev);
115        struct fsl_mc_device *mc_cont = to_fsl_mc_device(cont_dev);
116

cond_const: Condition count != 1U, taking false branch. Now the value of
count is equal to 1.

117        if (start != 0 || count != 1)
118                return -EINVAL;
119
120        mutex_lock(&vdev->reflck->lock);
121        ret = fsl_mc_populate_irq_pool(mc_cont,
122                        FSL_MC_IRQ_POOL_MAX_TOTAL_IRQS);
123        if (ret)
124                goto unlock;
125
126        ret = vfio_fsl_mc_irqs_allocate(vdev);
127        if (ret)
128                goto unlock;
129        mutex_unlock(&vdev->reflck->lock);
130

const: At condition count, the value of count must be equal to 1.
dead_error_condition: The condition !count cannot be true.

Logically dead code (DEADCODE)
dead_error_line: Execution cannot reach the expression flags & 1U inside
this statement: if (!count && flags & 1U)

 ....
131        if (!count && (flags & VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE))
132                return vfio_set_trigger(vdev, index, -1);

At line 131, count is 1 because of the check and return on lines
117-118.  !count is 0, and so 0 && (flags & VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE) is
always false, so the vfio_set_trigger is never called. I suspect that
was not the intention.
