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: 130c7b46c93d ("net/mlx5e: TX, Dump WQs wqe descriptors on CQE with error events") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1487843: Integer handling issues (SIGN_EXTENSION) /drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/wq.c: 89 in mlx5_wq_cyc_wqe_dump() 83 84 if (!net_ratelimit()) 85 return; 86 87 nstrides = max_t(u8, nstrides, 1); 88 vvv CID 1487843: Integer handling issues (SIGN_EXTENSION) vvv Suspicious implicit sign extension: "nstrides" with type "u8" (8 bits, unsigned) is promoted in "nstrides << wq->fbc.log_stride" to type "int" (32 bits, signed), then sign-extended to type "unsigned long" (64 bits, unsigned). If "nstrides << wq->fbc.log_stride" is greater than 0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result will all be 1. 89 len = nstrides << wq->fbc.log_stride; 90 wqe = mlx5_wq_cyc_get_wqe(wq, ix); 91 92 pr_info("WQE DUMP: WQ size %d WQ cur size %d, WQE index 0x%x, len: %ld\n", 93 mlx5_wq_cyc_get_size(wq), wq->cur_sz, ix, len); 94 print_hex_dump(KERN_WARNING, "", DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET, 16, 1, wqe, len, false); 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: 1487843 ("Integer handling issues") Fixes: 130c7b46c93d ("net/mlx5e: TX, Dump WQs wqe descriptors on CQE with error events") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
