Hello Hans Verkuil, The patch 50f7d5a65e5a: "[media] cec-funcs.h: static inlines to pack/unpack CEC messages" from Jun 17, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: include/linux/cec-funcs.h:1154 cec_ops_set_osd_string() warn: setting length 'msg->len - 3' to negative one include/linux/cec-funcs.h 1150 static inline void cec_ops_set_osd_string(const struct cec_msg *msg, 1151 __u8 *disp_ctl, 1152 char *osd) 1153 { 1154 unsigned int len = msg->len - 3; The reason for this warning is that we know msg->len is at least 2 but this code assumes it is at least 3. There is a check in cec_received_msg() which ensures that it is not <= 1. 1155 1156 *disp_ctl = msg->msg[2]; 1157 if (len > 13) 1158 len = 13; 1159 memcpy(osd, msg->msg + 3, len); 1160 osd[len] = '\0'; 1161 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
