Invalid assignment to gate in st21nfca_get_iso14443_3_uid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

While compiling Linux with -Wunused-but-set-parameter, gcc reported a
warning in st21nfca_get_iso14443_3_uid function, about "gate" being set
but not used [1].  By looking at the code, it is clear that "gate =
uid_skb->data;" does nothing useful.  The function is only called once,
by st21nfca_hci_target_from_gate [2], which uses the content of the uid
array which is NOT initialized by st21nfca_get_iso14443_3_uid as the
source of a memcpy [3].

My understanding of the code is that "gate = uid_skb->data;" in
st21nfca_get_iso14443_3_uid should be changed to "memcpy(gate,
uid_skb->data, uid_skb->len);".

I'm new to the NFC subsystem so I can be wrong, in which case please
tell me what I missed in my analysis.  Please Cc me when replying as I
am not subscribed to the mailing lists.

Thanks,

Nicolas
