Hello Simon Haggett, The patch dc3c78e43469: "HID: usbhid: Check HID report descriptor contents after device reset" from Apr 3, 2012, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c:1591 hid_reset_resume() warn: bool comparison is always 'true' drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c 1421 static int hid_post_reset(struct usb_interface *intf) 1422 { 1423 struct usb_device *dev = interface_to_usbdev (intf); 1424 struct hid_device *hid = usb_get_intfdata(intf); 1425 struct usbhid_device *usbhid = hid->driver_data; 1426 struct usb_host_interface *interface = intf->cur_altsetting; 1427 int status; 1428 char *rdesc; 1429 1430 /* Fetch and examine the HID report descriptor. If this 1431 * has changed, then rebind. Since usbcore's check of the 1432 * configuration descriptors passed, we already know that 1433 * the size of the HID report descriptor has not changed. 1434 */ 1435 rdesc = kmalloc(hid->dev_rsize, GFP_KERNEL); 1436 if (!rdesc) { 1437 dbg_hid("couldn't allocate rdesc memory (post_reset)\n"); 1438 return 1; We return 1 on error now in this function. I can't figure out if this is intentional. 1439 } 1440 status = hid_get_class_descriptor(dev, 1441 interface->desc.bInterfaceNumber, 1442 HID_DT_REPORT, rdesc, hid->dev_rsize); 1443 if (status < 0) { 1444 dbg_hid("reading report descriptor failed (post_reset)\n"); 1445 kfree(rdesc); 1446 return 1; 1447 } 1448 status = memcmp(rdesc, hid->dev_rdesc, hid->dev_rsize); 1449 kfree(rdesc); 1450 if (status != 0) { 1451 dbg_hid("report descriptor changed\n"); 1452 return 1; 1453 } 1454 1455 spin_lock_irq(&usbhid->lock); 1456 clear_bit(HID_RESET_PENDING, &usbhid->iofl); 1457 spin_unlock_irq(&usbhid->lock); 1458 hid_set_idle(dev, intf->cur_altsetting->desc.bInterfaceNumber, 0, 0); 1459 status = hid_start_in(hid); 1460 if (status < 0) 1461 hid_io_error(hid); 1462 usbhid_restart_queues(usbhid); Because we hit an error then we don't do this stuff. 1463 1464 return 0; 1465 } [ snip ] 1589 clear_bit(HID_SUSPENDED, &usbhid->iofl); 1590 status = hid_post_reset(intf); 1591 if (status >= 0 && hid->driver && hid->driver->reset_resume) { ^^^^^^^^^^^ This condition is always true. 1592 int ret = hid->driver->reset_resume(hid); 1593 if (ret < 0) 1594 status = ret; Maybe the ->reset_resume() can succeed even though hid_post_reset() failed? In that case, we return the "1" error code and print it in dmesg in usb_resume_interface(). Strange and uncommented. 1595 } 1596 return status; 1597 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
