Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20210608 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: Wed Jun 2 19:55:18 2021 -0300 b48c24c2d710 ("RDMA/irdma: Implement device supported verb APIs") (Editor's note: I believe the issues below are basically summarized as "the contents of req came from userspace and did not get validated before being used for things like array indexing, etc") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1505160: (TAINTED_SCALAR) /drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c: 2812 in irdma_reg_user_mr() 2806 list_add_tail(&iwpbl->list, &ucontext->qp_reg_mem_list); 2807 iwpbl->on_list = true; 2808 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ucontext->qp_reg_mem_list_lock, flags); 2809 break; 2810 case IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_CQ: 2811 use_pbles = (req.cq_pages > 1); vvv CID 1505160: (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Passing tainted variable "req.rq_pages" to a tainted sink. 2812 err = irdma_handle_q_mem(iwdev, &req, iwpbl, use_pbles); 2813 if (err) 2814 goto error; 2815 2816 ucontext = rdma_udata_to_drv_context(udata, struct irdma_ucontext, 2817 ibucontext); /drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c: 2799 in irdma_reg_user_mr() 2793 iwmr->type = req.reg_type; 2794 iwmr->page_cnt = ib_umem_num_dma_blocks(region, iwmr->page_size); 2795 2796 switch (req.reg_type) { 2797 case IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_QP: 2798 use_pbles = ((req.sq_pages + req.rq_pages) > 2); vvv CID 1505160: (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Passing tainted variable "req.cq_pages" to a tainted sink. 2799 err = irdma_handle_q_mem(iwdev, &req, iwpbl, use_pbles); 2800 if (err) 2801 goto error; 2802 2803 ucontext = rdma_udata_to_drv_context(udata, struct irdma_ucontext, 2804 ibucontext); /drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c: 2799 in irdma_reg_user_mr() 2793 iwmr->type = req.reg_type; 2794 iwmr->page_cnt = ib_umem_num_dma_blocks(region, iwmr->page_size); 2795 2796 switch (req.reg_type) { 2797 case IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_QP: 2798 use_pbles = ((req.sq_pages + req.rq_pages) > 2); vvv CID 1505160: (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Passing tainted variable "req.sq_pages" to a tainted sink. 2799 err = irdma_handle_q_mem(iwdev, &req, iwpbl, use_pbles); 2800 if (err) 2801 goto error; 2802 2803 ucontext = rdma_udata_to_drv_context(udata, struct irdma_ucontext, 2804 ibucontext); /drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c: 2799 in irdma_reg_user_mr() 2793 iwmr->type = req.reg_type; 2794 iwmr->page_cnt = ib_umem_num_dma_blocks(region, iwmr->page_size); 2795 2796 switch (req.reg_type) { 2797 case IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_QP: 2798 use_pbles = ((req.sq_pages + req.rq_pages) > 2); vvv CID 1505160: (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Passing tainted variable "req.rq_pages" to a tainted sink. 2799 err = irdma_handle_q_mem(iwdev, &req, iwpbl, use_pbles); 2800 if (err) 2801 goto error; 2802 2803 ucontext = rdma_udata_to_drv_context(udata, struct irdma_ucontext, 2804 ibucontext); /drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c: 2812 in irdma_reg_user_mr() 2806 list_add_tail(&iwpbl->list, &ucontext->qp_reg_mem_list); 2807 iwpbl->on_list = true; 2808 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ucontext->qp_reg_mem_list_lock, flags); 2809 break; 2810 case IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_CQ: 2811 use_pbles = (req.cq_pages > 1); vvv CID 1505160: (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Passing tainted variable "req.sq_pages" to a tainted sink. 2812 err = irdma_handle_q_mem(iwdev, &req, iwpbl, use_pbles); 2813 if (err) 2814 goto error; 2815 2816 ucontext = rdma_udata_to_drv_context(udata, struct irdma_ucontext, 2817 ibucontext); 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: 1505160 ("TAINTED_SCALAR") Fixes: b48c24c2d710 ("RDMA/irdma: Implement device supported verb APIs") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
