Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20210331 as part of the linux-next 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 commits: None c7d49c76d1d5 ("soundwire: qcom: add support to new interrupts") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1503584: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT) /drivers/soundwire/qcom.c: 446 in qcom_swrm_irq_handler() 440 if (!value) 441 continue; 442 443 switch (value) { 444 case SWRM_INTERRUPT_STATUS_SLAVE_PEND_IRQ: 445 devnum = qcom_swrm_get_alert_slave_dev_num(swrm); vvv CID 1503584: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT) vvv This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. "devnum < 0". 446 if (devnum < 0) { 447 dev_err_ratelimited(swrm->dev, 448 "no slave alert found.spurious interrupt\n"); 449 } else { 450 sdw_handle_slave_status(&swrm->bus, swrm->status); 451 } 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: 1503584 ("Control flow issues") Fixes: c7d49c76d1d5 ("soundwire: qcom: add support to new interrupts") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
