x86: PAT fix
Adrian Bunk noticed the following Coverity report: > Commit e7f260a276f2c9184fe753732d834b1f6fbe9f17 > (x86: PAT use reserve free memtype in mmap of /dev/mem) > added the following gem to arch/x86/mm/pat.c: > > <-- snip --> > > ... > int phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(struct file *file, unsigned long pfn, > unsigned long size, pgprot_t *vma_prot) > { > u64 offset = ((u64) pfn) << PAGE_SHIFT; > unsigned long flags = _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS; > unsigned long ret_flags; > ... > ... (nothing that touches ret_flags) > ... > if (flags != _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS) { > retval = reserve_memtype(offset, offset + size, flags, NULL); > } else { > retval = reserve_memtype(offset, offset + size, -1, &ret_flags); > } > > if (retval < 0) > return 0; > > flags = ret_flags; > > if (pfn <= max_pfn_mapped && > ioremap_change_attr((unsigned long)__va(offset), size, flags) < 0) { > free_memtype(offset, offset + size); > printk(KERN_INFO > "%s:%d /dev/mem ioremap_change_attr failed %s for %Lx-%Lx\n", > current->comm, current->pid, > cattr_name(flags), > offset, offset + size); > return 0; > } > > *vma_prot = __pgprot((pgprot_val(*vma_prot) & ~_PAGE_CACHE_MASK) | > flags); > return 1; > } > > <-- snip --> > > If (flags != _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS) we pass garbage from the stack to > ioremap_change_attr() and/or __pgprot(). > > Spotted by the Coverity checker. the fix simplifies the code as we get rid of the 'ret_flags' complication.
