Hello Suman Ghosh, The patch ec87f05402f5: "octeontx2-af: Install TC filter rules in hardware based on priority" from Jul 21, 2023 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_tc.c:860 otx2_tc_update_mcam_table_del_req() error: uninitialized symbol 'cntr_val'. drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_tc.c 837 static int otx2_tc_update_mcam_table_del_req(struct otx2_nic *nic, 838 struct otx2_flow_config *flow_cfg, 839 struct otx2_tc_flow *node) 840 { 841 struct list_head *pos, *n; 842 struct otx2_tc_flow *tmp; 843 int i = 0, index = 0; 844 u16 cntr_val; 845 846 /* Find and delete the entry from the list and re-install 847 * all the entries from beginning to the index of the 848 * deleted entry to higher mcam indexes. 849 */ 850 list_for_each_safe(pos, n, &flow_cfg->flow_list_tc) { 851 tmp = list_entry(pos, struct otx2_tc_flow, list); 852 if (node == tmp) { 853 list_del(&tmp->list); 854 break; 855 } 856 857 otx2_del_mcam_flow_entry(nic, tmp->entry, &cntr_val); otx2_del_mcam_flow_entry() looks like it can fail. 858 tmp->entry++; 859 tmp->req.entry = tmp->entry; --> 860 tmp->req.cntr_val = cntr_val; 861 index++; 862 } 863 864 list_for_each_safe(pos, n, &flow_cfg->flow_list_tc) { 865 if (i == index) 866 break; 867 868 tmp = list_entry(pos, struct otx2_tc_flow, list); 869 otx2_add_mcam_flow_entry(nic, &tmp->req); 870 i++; 871 } 872 873 return 0; 874 } regards, dan carpenter
