When get_registers() fails in set_ethernet_addr(),the uninitialized value of node_id gets copied over as the address. So, check the return value of get_registers(). If get_registers() executed successfully (i.e., it returns sizeof(node_id)), copy over the MAC address using ether_addr_copy() (instead of using memcpy()). Else, if get_registers() failed instead, a randomly generated MAC address is set as the MAC address instead.

Since we're not treating get_registers() (and thus set_ethernet_addr()) failing as an erroneous condition, we can perform the error handling (setting a random ethernet address) that was being done in v3 within set_ethernet_addr() itself. (Suggested by Petko Manolov <petkan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>) Changes in v3: * Set a random MAC address to the device rather than making the device not work at all in the even set_ethernet_addr() fails. (Suggested by David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>) * Update set_ethernet_addr() to use ether_addr_copy() to copy the MAC Address (instead of using memcpy() for that same). (Suggested by Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>) Changes in v2: * Modified condition checking get_registers()'s return value to ret == sizeof(node_id) for stricter checking in compliance with the new usb_control_msg_recv() API (Suggested by Petko Manolov <petkan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>) * Added Acked-by: Petko Manolov drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c | 16 ++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c b/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c index 733f120c852b..9d079dc2a535 100644 --- a/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c +++ b/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c @@ -274,12 +274,20 @@ static int write_mii_word(rtl8150_t * dev, u8 phy, __u8 indx, u16 reg) return 1; } -static inline void set_ethernet_addr(rtl8150_t * dev) +static void set_ethernet_addr(rtl8150_t *dev) { - u8 node_id[6]; + u8 node_id[ETH_ALEN]; + int ret; + + ret = get_registers(dev, IDR, sizeof(node_id), node_id); - get_registers(dev, IDR, sizeof(node_id), node_id); - memcpy(dev->netdev->dev_addr, node_id, sizeof(node_id)); + if (ret == sizeof(node_id)) { + ether_addr_copy(dev->netdev->dev_addr, node_id); + } else { + eth_hw_addr_random(dev->netdev); + netdev_notice(dev->netdev, "Assigned a random MAC address: %pM\n", + dev->netdev->dev_addr); + } } static int rtl8150_set_mac_address(struct net_device *netdev, void *p) -- 2.25.1
