Hello! This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20191108 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits: c290ea01abb7 ("fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1487847: Memory - corruptions (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON) /include/linux/jbd2.h: 351 in jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head() 345 { 346 bit_spin_lock(BH_JournalHead, &bh->b_state); 347 } 348 349 static inline void jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head(struct buffer_head *bh) 350 { vvv CID 1487847: Memory - corruptions (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON) vvv Passing "&bh->b_state" to function "bit_spin_unlock" which uses it as an array. This might corrupt or misinterpret adjacent memory locations. 351 bit_spin_unlock(BH_JournalHead, &bh->b_state); 352 } 353 354 #define J_ASSERT(assert) BUG_ON(!(assert)) 355 356 #define J_ASSERT_BH(bh, expr) J_ASSERT(expr) If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1487847 ("Memory - corruptions") Fixes: c290ea01abb7 ("fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
