Subject: net/mlx4_core: Fix use of ENOSPC around mlx4_counter_alloc()
From: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 40e473071dbad04316ddc3613c3a3d1c75458299 ]
When ENOSPC is set the idx is still valid and gets set to the global
MLX4_SINK_COUNTER_INDEX. However gcc's static analysis cannot tell that
ENOSPC is impossible from mlx4_cmd_imm() and gives this warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/main.c:2552:28: warning: 'idx' may be
used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
2552 | priv->def_counter[port] = idx;
Also, when ENOSPC is returned mlx4_allocate_default_counters should not
fail.
Fixes: 6de5f7f6a1fa ("net/mlx4_core: Allocate default counter per port")
