Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20221201 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: Fri Dec 14 17:59:46 2018 +0100 55d2375e58a6 ("KVM: nVMX: Move nested code to dedicated files") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1527765: Error handling issues (CHECKED_RETURN) arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:5269 in handle_vmclear() 5263 */ 5264 if (likely(!guest_cpuid_has_evmcs(vcpu) || 5265 !evmptr_is_valid(nested_get_evmptr(vcpu)))) { 5266 if (vmptr == vmx->nested.current_vmptr) 5267 nested_release_vmcs12(vcpu); 5268 vvv CID 1527765: Error handling issues (CHECKED_RETURN) vvv Calling "kvm_vcpu_write_guest" without checking return value (as is done elsewhere 7 out of 8 times). 5269 kvm_vcpu_write_guest(vcpu, 5270 vmptr + offsetof(struct vmcs12, 5271 launch_state), 5272 &zero, sizeof(zero)); 5273 } else if (vmx->nested.hv_evmcs && vmptr == vmx->nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr) { 5274 nested_release_evmcs(vcpu); 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: 1527765 ("Error handling issues") Fixes: 55d2375e58a6 ("KVM: nVMX: Move nested code to dedicated files") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
