Subject: [bug report] Maple Tree: add new data structure
Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2022 12:36:36 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YtZ7JO6noz2QduUX@kili> (raw)
Hello Liam R. Howlett,
The patch 058c2f0f755f: "Maple Tree: add new data structure" from Jul
17, 2022, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning:
lib/maple_tree.c:6969 mas_validate_limits()
warn: add some parenthesis here? '!piv & (i != 0)'
lib/maple_tree.c
6952 static void mas_validate_limits(struct ma_state *mas)
6953 {
6954 int i;
6955 unsigned long prev_piv = 0;
6956 enum maple_type type = mte_node_type(mas->node);
6957 void __rcu **slots = ma_slots(mte_to_node(mas->node), type);
6958 unsigned long *pivots = ma_pivots(mas_mn(mas), type);
6959
6960 /* all limits are fine here. */
6961 if (mte_is_root(mas->node))
6962 return;
6963
6964 for (i = 0; i < mt_slots[type]; i++) {
6965 unsigned long piv;
6966
6967 piv = mas_safe_pivot(mas, pivots, i, type);
6968
--> 6969 if (!piv & (i != 0))
Sparse and Smatch both hate this. I think this code is correct and it
should be:
if ((!piv) & (i != 0))
However the vast majority of the time this warning indicates a
precendence bug where what was intended was:
if (!(piv & (i != 0)))
I guess it's not common to use booleans for bitwise ANDs...
6970 break;
6971
6972 if (!mte_is_leaf(mas->node)) {
regards,
dan carpenter
