Subject: Coverity: zblock_reclaim_block(): Control flow issues
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 14:21:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202211171421.914F0F3719@keescook> (raw)
Hello!
This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221117 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:
Wed Nov 16 16:19:12 2022 -0800
9097e28c25c8 ("mm: add zblock - new allocator for use via zpool API")
Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1527349: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT)
mm/zblock.c:412 in zblock_reclaim_block()
406 unsigned long handle, block_type, slot;
407 int ret, i, reclaimed;
408
409 /* start with list storing blocks with the worst compression and try
410 * to evict the first added (oldest) block in this list
411 */
vvv CID 1527349: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT)
vvv This greater-than-or-equal-to-zero comparison of an unsigned value is always true. "block_type >= 0UL".
412 for (block_type = ARRAY_SIZE(block_desc) - 1; block_type >= 0; --block_type) {
413 list = &(pool->block_lists[block_type]);
414 spin_lock(&list->lock);
415
416 /* find the oldest block in list */
417 block = list_last_entry(&list->head, struct zblock_block, block_node);
If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
