[v5.2] ucc_slow: Fix to avoid IS_ERR_VALUE abuses and dead code on 64bit systems.

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

 



IS_ERR_VALUE() assumes that parameter is an unsigned long.
It can not be used to check if 'unsigned int' is passed insted.
Which tends to reflect an error.
In 64bit architectures sizeof (int) == 4 && sizeof (long) == 8.
IS_ERR_VALUE(x) is ((x) >= (unsigned long)-4095).
IS_ERR_VALUE() of 'unsigned int' is always false because the 32bit
value is zero extended to 64 bits.

Now Problem In UCC slow protocols -: drivers/soc/fsl/qe/ucc_slow.c

        /* Get PRAM base */
        uccs->us_pram_offset =
           qe_muram_alloc(UCC_SLOW_PRAM_SIZE, ALIGNMENT_OF_UCC_SLOW_PRAM);
        if (IS_ERR_VALUE(uccs->us_pram_offset)) {
           printk(KERN_ERR "%s: cannot allocate MURAM for PRAM", __func__);
           ucc_slow_free(uccs);
           return -ENOMEM;
        }
        id = ucc_slow_get_qe_cr_subblock(us_info->ucc_num);
        qe_issue_cmd(QE_ASSIGN_PAGE_TO_DEVICE, id, us_info->protocol,
                     uccs->us_pram_offset);

        uccs->us_pram = qe_muram_addr(uccs->us_pram_offset);

        /* Allocate BDs. */
        uccs->rx_base_offset =
            qe_muram_alloc(us_info->rx_bd_ring_len * sizeof(struct qe_bd),
                                QE_ALIGNMENT_OF_BD);
        if (IS_ERR_VALUE(uccs->rx_base_offset)) {
            printk(KERN_ERR "%s: cannot allocate %u RX BDs\n", __func__,
                        us_info->rx_bd_ring_len);
            uccs->rx_base_offset = 0;
            ucc_slow_free(uccs);
            return -ENOMEM;
        }

        uccs->tx_base_offset =
             qe_muram_alloc(us_info->tx_bd_ring_len * sizeof(struct qe_bd),
                        QE_ALIGNMENT_OF_BD);
        if (IS_ERR_VALUE(uccs->tx_base_offset)) {
             printk(KERN_ERR "%s: cannot allocate TX BDs", __func__);
             uccs->tx_base_offset = 0;
             ucc_slow_free(uccs);
             return -ENOMEM;
        }

qe_muram_alloc (a.k.a. cpm_muram_alloc) returns unsigned long.
Return value store in a u32 (us_pram_offset, rx_base_offset
and tx_base_offset).If qe_muram_alloc will return any error,
Then IS_ERR_VALUE will always return 0. it'll not call ucc_fast_free
for any failure. Inside 'if code' will be a dead code on 64bit.
Even  qe_muram_addr will return wrong virtual address. Which
can cause an error.
This patch is to avoid this problem on 64bit machine.
