Hello Madalin Bucur, The patch 9ad1a3749333: "dpaa_eth: add support for DPAA Ethernet" from Nov 15, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa/dpaa_eth.c:1082 dpaa_eth_init_tx_port() warn: 'port' was already freed. drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa/dpaa_eth.c 1058 static void dpaa_eth_init_tx_port(struct fman_port *port, struct dpaa_fq *errq, 1059 struct dpaa_fq *defq, 1060 struct dpaa_buffer_layout *buf_layout) 1061 { 1062 struct fman_buffer_prefix_content buf_prefix_content; 1063 struct fman_port_params params; 1064 int err; 1065 1066 memset(¶ms, 0, sizeof(params)); 1067 memset(&buf_prefix_content, 0, sizeof(buf_prefix_content)); 1068 1069 buf_prefix_content.priv_data_size = buf_layout->priv_data_size; 1070 buf_prefix_content.pass_prs_result = true; 1071 buf_prefix_content.pass_hash_result = true; 1072 buf_prefix_content.pass_time_stamp = false; 1073 buf_prefix_content.data_align = DPAA_FD_DATA_ALIGNMENT; 1074 1075 params.specific_params.non_rx_params.err_fqid = errq->fqid; 1076 params.specific_params.non_rx_params.dflt_fqid = defq->fqid; 1077 1078 err = fman_port_config(port, ¶ms); fman_port_config() frees port on error. This is the wrong thing to do and a layering violation. We should just return an error. But the callers also need to be modified to check for errors etc... So it's not easy to fix all the bugs because there are too many. 1079 if (err) 1080 pr_err("%s: fman_port_config failed\n", __func__); 1081 1082 err = fman_port_cfg_buf_prefix_content(port, &buf_prefix_content); Use after free. 1083 if (err) 1084 pr_err("%s: fman_port_cfg_buf_prefix_content failed\n", 1085 __func__); 1086 1087 err = fman_port_init(port); 1088 if (err) 1089 pr_err("%s: fm_port_init failed\n", __func__); 1090 } 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
