Hello Johannes Berg,
The patch 724fe7710ac5: "iwlwifi: mvm: kill INACTIVE queue state"
from Jul 4, 2018, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c:1243
iwl_mvm_inactivity_check()
warn: 'iwl_mvm_remove_inactive_tids(mvm, mvmsta, i,
inactive_tid_bitmap, &unshare_queues, &changetid_queues)' is unsigned
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c
1223 /*
1224 * If the STA doesn't exist anymore, it isn't an error.
It could
1225 * be that it was removed since getting the queues, and
in this
1226 * case it should've inactivated its queues anyway.
1227 */
1228 if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(sta))
1229 continue;
1230
1231 mvmsta = iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211(sta);
1232
1233 /* this isn't so nice, but works OK due to the way we
loop */
1234 spin_unlock(&mvm->queue_info_lock);
1235
1236 /* and we need this locking order */
1237 spin_lock(&mvmsta->lock);
1238 spin_lock(&mvm->queue_info_lock);
1239 ret = iwl_mvm_remove_inactive_tids(mvm, mvmsta, i,
1240 inactive_tid_bitmap,
1241 &unshare_queues,
1242 &changetid_queues);
1243 if (ret >= 0 && free_queue < 0)
^^^^^^^^
The iwl_mvm_remove_inactive_tids() returns a bool so it doesn't make
sense to test for >= 0. Probably we should test for ret == true?
1244 free_queue = ret;
1245 /* only unlock sta lock - we still need the queue info
lock */
1246 spin_unlock(&mvmsta->lock);
1247 }
regards,
dan carpenter
