Hello Jason Wang, The patch ddd50f4495d3: "vdpa: set the virtqueue num during register" from Feb 23, 2021, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/vdpa/ifcvf/ifcvf_main.c:433 ifcvf_probe() warn: risky error pointer math: '__vdpa_alloc_device(dev, &ifc_vdpa_ops, 2592 + (0), (0)))' include/linux/vdpa.h 255 #define vdpa_alloc_device(dev_struct, member, parent, config, name) \ 256 container_of(__vdpa_alloc_device( \ 257 parent, config, \ 258 sizeof(dev_struct) + \ 259 BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(offsetof( \ 260 dev_struct, member)), name), \ 261 dev_struct, member) 262 The __vdpa_alloc_device() returns an error pointer and if we call container_of() on then that's a bug... (Unless the container_of() is known to be a no-op, in which case it's sort of ugly but fine, I guess. There is one caller where this is the case.). drivers/vdpa/ifcvf/ifcvf_main.c 432 433 adapter = vdpa_alloc_device(struct ifcvf_adapter, vdpa, 434 dev, &ifc_vdpa_ops, NULL); 435 if (adapter == NULL) { All the other caller check for NULL. :P 436 IFCVF_ERR(pdev, "Failed to allocate vDPA structure"); 437 return -ENOMEM; 438 } 439 440 pci_set_master(pdev); 441 pci_set_drvdata(pdev, adapter); 442 regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
