Subject: [bug report] powerpc/xive: Native exploitation of the XIVE interrupt controller
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 04:20:31 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170420012031.k4vx75eqrm2aborg@mwanda> (raw)

Hello Benjamin Herrenschmidt,

The patch 243e25112d06: "powerpc/xive: Native exploitation of the
XIVE interrupt controller" from Apr 5, 2017, leads to the following
static checker warning:

	arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c:184 __xive_native_disable_queue()
	info: ignoring unreachable code.

arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c
   176  static void __xive_native_disable_queue(u32 vp_id, struct xive_q *q, u8 prio)
   177  {
   178          s64 rc;
   179  
   180          /* Disable the queue in HW */
   181          for (;;) {
   182                  rc = opal_xive_set_queue_info(vp_id, prio, 0, 0, 0);
   183                          break;

This should be "if (!rc) break;"

   184                  msleep(1);
   185          }
   186          if (rc)

But we need some kind of timeout to ever print this error message.

   187                  pr_err("Error %lld disabling queue for prio %d\n", rc, prio);
   188  }

regards,
dan carpenter
