Hello Stefan Schmidt,
The patch 6cc33eba232c: "ieee802154: atusb: try to read permanent
extended address from device" from Dec 5, 2016, leads to the
following static checker warning:
drivers/net/ieee802154/atusb.c:714 atusb_set_extended_addr()
error: doing dma on the stack (buffer)
drivers/net/ieee802154/atusb.c
698 static int atusb_set_extended_addr(struct atusb *atusb)
699 {
700 struct usb_device *usb_dev = atusb->usb_dev;
701 unsigned char buffer[IEEE802154_EXTENDED_ADDR_LEN];
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
702 __le64 extended_addr;
703 u64 addr;
704 int ret;
705
706 /* Firmware versions before 0.3 do not support the EUI64_READ command.
707 * Just use a random address and be done */
708 if (atusb->fw_ver_maj == 0 && atusb->fw_ver_min < 3) {
709 ieee802154_random_extended_addr(&atusb->hw->phy->perm_extended_addr);
710 return 0;
711 }
712
713 /* Firmware is new enough so we fetch the address from EEPROM */
714 ret = atusb_control_msg(atusb, usb_rcvctrlpipe(usb_dev, 0),
715 ATUSB_EUI64_READ, ATUSB_REQ_FROM_DEV, 0, 0,
716 buffer, IEEE802154_EXTENDED_ADDR_LEN, 1000);
^^^^^^
Stack memory is not dma-able and this is especially important for 4.9
and later kernels because of the virtually mapped stacks I believe?
717 if (ret < 0)
718 dev_err(&usb_dev->dev, "failed to fetch extended address\n");
719
720 memcpy(&extended_addr, buffer, IEEE802154_EXTENDED_ADDR_LEN);
721 /* Check if read address is not empty and the unicast bit is set correctly */
722 if (!ieee802154_is_valid_extended_unicast_addr(extended_addr)) {
723 dev_info(&usb_dev->dev, "no permanent extended address found, random address set\n");
724 ieee802154_random_extended_addr(&atusb->hw->phy->perm_extended_addr);
725 } else {
726 atusb->hw->phy->perm_extended_addr = extended_addr;
727 addr = swab64((__force u64)atusb->hw->phy->perm_extended_addr);
728 dev_info(&usb_dev->dev, "Read permanent extended address %8phC from device\n",
729 &addr);
730 }
731
732 return ret;
733 }
See these older warnings as well:
drivers/net/ieee802154/atusb.c:123 atusb_read_reg() error: doing dma on the stack (&value)
drivers/net/ieee802154/atusb.c:126 atusb_read_reg() error: uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/net/ieee802154/atusb.c:615 atusb_get_and_show_revision() error: doing dma on the stack (buffer)
drivers/net/ieee802154/atusb.c:643 atusb_get_and_show_build() error: doing dma on the stack (build)
