[PATCH wireless-next v3 2/2] wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: phy: fix an undefined bitwise shift behavior

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

 



Clang staic checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/phy.c:184:49:
	The result of the left shift is undefined due to shifting by '32',
	which is greater or equal to the width of type 'u32'.
	[core.UndefinedBinaryOperatorResult]

If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or
equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is
undefined.[1][2]

For example, when using different gcc's compilation optimizaation options
(-O0 or -O2), the result of '(u32)data << 32' is different. One is 0, the
other is old value of data. Let _rtl8821ae_phy_calculate_bit_shift()'s
return value less than 32 to fix this problem. Warn if bitmask is zero.

v3:
 - use __ffs() and make code briefer. (Thanks to Ping-Ke)

v2:
 - fix the subject prefix problem
 - silence the warning by not return 32 bits rather than adding a type cast.(Thanks to Dan and Ping-Ke)
