[PATCH] staging/rdma/hfi1: Fix a possible null pointer dereference

[Mike Marciniszyn]

From: Easwar Hariharan <easwar.hariharan@intel.com>

A code inspection pointed out that kmalloc_array may return NULL and
memset doesn't check the input pointer for NULL, resulting in a possible
NULL dereference. This patch fixes this.

Based on this report a generalization of unchecked use turned up one more
case in the current kernel (patch sent). Probably the  when  block needs 
some cleanup, but findings like this definitely are a case for coccinelle 
scanners.

How about the following?  I got two hits with this, in 
drivers/clk/shmobile/clk-div6.c and drivers/staging/rdma/hfi1/chip.c.

@@
expression mem;
identifier f;
@@

*mem = kmalloc_array(...);
... when != mem == NULL
    when != mem != NULL
(
f(...,mem,...)
|
mem->f

)

There is a semantic patch in the kernel called kmerr that goes in this 
direction, but it seems to be overly restrictive and it doesn't address 
this function:

/// This semantic patch looks for kmalloc etc that are not followed by a
/// NULL check.  It only gives a report in the case where there is some
/// error handling code later in the function, which may be helpful
/// in determining what the error handling code for the call to kmalloc etc
/// should be.

Probably there are a lot of other functions that should be considered.

works perfectly for this case - thanks 

I actually initially used the "template" from api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci
but that did not catch all cases for the kmalloc_array scanner.
Poping your proposal into kzalloc-simple.cocci seems to be finding quite 
a few additional cases will review them to see if there are any false 
positives - but a first scan did show that most of the reported cases 
seem to be valid.

works perfectly for this case - thanks 

I actually initially used the "template" from api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci
but that did not catch all cases for the kmalloc_array scanner.
Poping your proposal into kzalloc-simple.cocci seems to be finding quite 
a few additional cases will review them to see if there are any false 
positives - but a first scan did show that most of the reported cases 
seem to be valid.


thx!

Re: [Cocci] [PATCH] staging/rdma/hfi1: Fix a possible null pointer dereference

[Julia Lawall]

Here is my proposition for finding missing NULL tests.  I tried to limit 
it to generic kmalloc like functions.  There are of course many other NULL 
returning functions, but maybe they could be in an other rule,
