Hello Kumar Gala, The patch 93a30f70d97e: "firmware: qcom: scm: Add support for ARM64 SoCs" from May 12, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/firmware/qcom_scm-64.c:154 qcom_scm_call() warn: unsigned 'desc->res.a0' is never less than zero. drivers/firmware/qcom_scm-64.c 127 do { 128 mutex_lock(&qcom_scm_lock); 129 130 cmd = ARM_SMCCC_CALL_VAL(ARM_SMCCC_STD_CALL, 131 qcom_smccc_convention, 132 ARM_SMCCC_OWNER_SIP, fn_id); 133 134 do { 135 arm_smccc_smc(cmd, desc->arginfo, desc->args[0], 136 desc->args[1], desc->args[2], x5, 0, 0, 137 &desc->res); 138 } while (desc->res.a0 == QCOM_SCM_INTERRUPTED); 139 140 mutex_unlock(&qcom_scm_lock); 141 142 if (desc->res.a0 == QCOM_SCM_V2_EBUSY) { 143 if (retry_count++ > QCOM_SCM_EBUSY_MAX_RETRY) 144 break; 145 msleep(QCOM_SCM_EBUSY_WAIT_MS); 146 } 147 } while (desc->res.a0 == QCOM_SCM_V2_EBUSY); 148 149 if (args_virt) { 150 dma_unmap_single(dev, args_phys, alloc_len, DMA_TO_DEVICE); 151 kfree(args_virt); 152 } 153 154 if (desc->res.a0 < 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is never true. It's an unsigned long now but probably it should be changed to an int? 155 return qcom_scm_remap_error(desc->res.a0); 156 157 return 0; 158 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
