I'm pasting the whole function instead of a diff for clarity: --- struct mem_ctl_info *edac_mc_find(int idx) { struct mem_ctl_info *mci = NULL; struct list_head *item; mutex_lock(&mem_ctls_mutex); list_for_each(item, &mc_devices) { mci = list_entry(item, struct mem_ctl_info, link); if (mci->mc_idx == idx) goto unlock; } mci = NULL; unlock: mutex_unlock(&mem_ctls_mutex); return mci; --- Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
diff --git a/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c b/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c index 13594ffadcb3..aeeaaf30b38a 100644 --- a/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c +++ b/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c @@ -688,10 +688,9 @@ struct mem_ctl_info *edac_mc_find(int idx) mci = list_entry(item, struct mem_ctl_info, link); if (mci->mc_idx >= idx) { - if (mci->mc_idx == idx) { - goto unlock; - } - break; + if (mci->mc_idx != idx) + mci = NULL; + goto unlock; } }
The function should return NULL in case no device is found, but it always returns the last checked mc device from the list even if the index did not match. This patch fixes this. I did some analysis why this did not raise any issues for about 3 years and the reason is that edac_mc_find() is mostly used to search for existing devices. Thus, the bug is not triggered.
