From ca6c2ce1b481996ae5b16e4589d3c0dd61899fa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baoquan He Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 22:50:14 +0800 Subject: mm/vmalloc: fix the unchecked dereference warning in vread_iter() LKP reported smatch warning as below: =================== smatch warnings: mm/vmalloc.c:3689 vread_iter() error: we previously assumed 'vm' could be null (see line 3667) ...... 06c8994626d1b7 @3667 size = vm ? get_vm_area_size(vm) : va_size(va); ...... 06c8994626d1b7 @3689 else if (!(vm->flags & VM_IOREMAP)) ^^^^^^^^^ Unchecked dereference ===================== This is not a runtime bug because the possible null 'vm' in the pointed place could only happen when flags == VMAP_BLOCK. However, the case 'flags == VMAP_BLOCK' should never happen and has been detected with WARN_ON. Please check vm_map_ram() implementation and the earlier checking in vread_iter() at below: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /* * VMAP_BLOCK indicates a sub-type of vm_map_ram area, need * be set together with VMAP_RAM. */ WARN_ON(flags == VMAP_BLOCK); if (!vm && !flags) continue; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So add checking on whether 'vm' could be null when dereferencing it in vread_iter(). This mutes smatch complaint.
