Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: mos7720: improve handling of a kmalloc failure in read_mos_reg()
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 14:09:04 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210111220904.1035957-1-trix@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>
clang static analysis reports this problem
mos7720.c:352:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
return d;
^~~~~~~~
In the parport_mos7715_read_data()'s call to read_mos_reg(), 'd' is
only set after the alloc block.
buf = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!buf)
return -ENOMEM;
Although the problem is reported in parport_most7715_read_data(),
none of the callee's of read_mos_reg() check the return status.
So move the clearing of data to before the malloc.
Fixes: 0d130367abf5 ("USB: serial: mos7720: fix control-message error handling")
