[patch] edac: sb_edac: add sanity check to silence static checker

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I assume the the check on if (limit <= prv) prevents n_tads from
actually reaching MAX_TAD.  The problem with that is that it relies
on the hardware returning the right value and Smatch complains that
if it doesn't we could have a buffer overflow.

Feel free to ignore this patch if you want.  I don't have very stong
feelings about this either way.
