Subject: re: zswap: do not shrink if cgroup may not zswap
Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2023 13:38:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1cbc8768-7a94-530d-f3ba-923038e6ef12@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

static analysis with clang scan build has detected an issue in the 
following commit:

commit 6804144bf1cfa3978ad98e625d8a1d2a4b80cbee
Author: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue May 30 15:24:40 2023 -0700

     zswap: do not shrink if cgroup may not zswap


The issue is as follows in function zswap_frontswap_store in mm/zswap.c:

         /*
          * XXX: zswap reclaim does not work with cgroups yet. Without a
          * cgroup-aware entry LRU, we will push out entries system-wide 
based on
          * local cgroup limits.
          */
         objcg = get_obj_cgroup_from_page(page);
         if (objcg && !obj_cgroup_may_zswap(objcg))
                 goto reject;

mm/zswap.c:1210:6: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized 
whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

The goto reject path ends up returning ret, however, ret at this point 
has not been initialized, so a garbage return value is being returned
by function zswap_frontswap_store
