Subject: tcp: Checking a kmemdup() call in tcp_time_wait()
Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 16:51:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a219235e-bad5-8a9d-0f3e-c05d5cb11df1@web.de> (raw)

Hello,

I tried another script for the semantic patch language out.
This source code analysis approach points out that the implementation
of the function “tcp_time_wait” contains also a call of the function “kmemdup”.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c?id=1c0cc5f1ae5ee5a6913704c0d75a6e99604ee30a#n306
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.4-rc2/source/net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c#L306

* Do you find the usage of the macro call “BUG_ON” still appropriate at this place?
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/checkpatch.pl?id=1c0cc5f1ae5ee5a6913704c0d75a6e99604ee30a#n4080

* Is there a need to adjust the error handling here?

Regards,
Markus
