Coverity reported a new defect after this change (commit 60aaf9338545) - passing a singleton pointer as the worker_groups parameter to alloc_thread_groups() which expects an array pointer. But actually it looks like it should still be a singleton pointer and alloc_thread_groups() is broken: - conf->worker_groups = kzalloc(sizeof(struct r5worker_group) * - conf->group_cnt, GFP_NOIO); - if (!conf->worker_groups || !workers) { + workers = kzalloc(size * *group_cnt, GFP_NOIO); + *worker_groups = kzalloc(sizeof(struct r5worker_group) * + *group_cnt, GFP_NOIO); + if (!*worker_groups || !workers) { kfree(workers); - kfree(conf->worker_groups); - conf->worker_groups = NULL; + kfree(*worker_groups); return -ENOMEM; } - for (i = 0; i < conf->group_cnt; i++) { + for (i = 0; i < *group_cnt; i++) { struct r5worker_group *group; - group = &conf->worker_groups[i]; + group = worker_groups[i]; This assignment should, I think, be: group = &(*worker_groups)[i]; or equivalently: group = *worker_groups + i; Ben. -- Ben Hutchings, Staff Engineer, Solarflare Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
