Hi, Greg, Larry and Phillip!

I noticed, that new staging driver was added like 3 weeks ago and I decided
to look at the code, because drivers in staging directory are always buggy.

The first thing I noticed is *no one* was checking read operations result, but
it can fail and driver may start writing random stack values into registers. It
can cause driver misbehavior or device misbehavior.

To avoid this type of bugs, i've expanded read() API with error parametr,
which will be initialized to error if read fails. It helps callers to
break/return earlier and don't write random values to registers or to rely
on random values.

Why is this pacth series RFC?
  1. I don't have this device and I cannot test these changes.
  2. I don't know how to handle errors in each particular case. For now, function
     just returns or returns an error. That's all. I hope, driver maintainers will
     help with these bits.
  3. I guess, I handled not all uninit value bugs here. I hope, I fixed
     at least half of them

This series was build-tested and made on top of staging-testing branch


With regards,
Pavel Skripkin

rtw_read*() functions call usb_read* inside. These functions could fail
in some cases; for example: failed to receive control message. These
cases should be handled to prevent uninit value bugs, since usb_read*
functions blindly return stack variable without checking if this value
_actualy_ initialized.

To achive it, all usb_read* and rtw_read*() argument list is expanded
with pointer to error and added error usbctrl_vendorreq() error checking.
If transfer is successful error will be initialized to 0 otherwise to
error returned from usb_control_msg().

To not break the build, added error checking for rtw_read*() call all
across the driver.

ReadEFuseByte() internally calls rtw_read8() which can fail. To avoid
uninit value bugs we should properly handle error sutiation and deliver
the error to caller.

To achieve it, some functions now return an int, and the error
which could occur in ReadEFuseByte() is handled on the top level.

Since read_macreg() calls rtw_read*() internally we should tell
callers about an error on the read side.

	 ^^^^^^^

Should be goto clear_evt;. Will fix in v2, I want to receive some 
feedback first :)

Dear Pavel,

Firstly, thank you for this contribution, it is much appreciated.
Whilst I'm still learning myself when it comes to this driver and to
kernel code in general, I can certainly say the code looks pretty good
in general so far. I will try and offer individual comments on each
patch.

Regards,
Phil

Dear Pavel,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this read_macreg function seems to be
completely unused by the rest of the driver. Rather than changing the
signature to do error handling, maybe it would be better to just remove
it?

That is just my view though, would be interested to see what others
think - perhaps it could come in handy at some point.

Regards,
Phil

Dear Pavel,

For this patch, you modify the signature of the usb_read*() functions,
but only introduce the usbctrl_vendorreq checks for usb_read8.

I can see from the following patch that you have done the others too
later on, but really I would say for changes like this, they should be
grouped in the same patch. Also, just me nitpicking probably, but the
patch is rather large - sometimes unavoidable I know, but perhaps
better to group logically into areas (files or types of change) in
order to get the patches smaller and thus more easily reviewable. Many
thanks.

In terms of what we do with the errors, I would invite comments from
others on this too due to my inexperience, but I like your thinking.

Regards,
Phil

Dear Pavel,

I like the code, just a few things though:
(1) the comments I made in the previous e-mail r.e. what we actually
do with the errors, and grouping logically related changes (the rest
of the usb_read*() changes being in this patch for example).
(2) I got trailing whitespace errors from this patch and the last one.
For a v2 I would say stripping the whitespace is a good idea too - I
have submitted many patches myself to this driver that had whitespace
in - indeed, the original version of my patch series to import the
driver still had a load as well :-)

Regards,
Phil

Please change the Subject: ReadFuse --> ReadEFuse() or 
ReadFuse --> ReadEFuseByte().

I agree with Philip on splitting 1/3 into more patches, perhaps one for each
of the three rtw_read*(), but I disagree on merging the usb_read*() changes 
into this. They should go to another patch because they are not strictly
related to "add[ing] error handling to ReadFuse".

I agree with Philip: please, split this long patch. If I were you, I'd make 
one patch for each of the three rtw_read*() and a fourth patch for usb_read*().

Not related to your patch, these macros are useless and misleading.

I really don't like passing errors through arguments. Why don't you pass 
a storage location where the function save the byte read and instead use the 
return for errors? I think that this would result in a cleaner design. Furthermore,
it is used everywhere in the kernel.

I'm done for now: too many lines to read all at once :)

Sorry, I don't get it. I didn't touch these macros, it's part of diffstat.

Yep, this will be more cleaner, but I decided to receive some feedback 
first about the idea. If this error handling is really necessary, I will 
rework this approach :)

yes, this function is unused for now, but I am aware about plans for 
this function :) If no one has plans for it, it can be removed.

Thank you for your feedback. So, I will prepare a v2 version in few days 
and, I think, I will leave RFC prefix.

Also, I want to receive some feedback from Larry about error handling in 
each particular case, I guess, he can help us with it.

So, I will split each rtw_read* changes into separate patche and make 
them return an error instead of read value.


Again, big thanks to you and Fabio for feedback, I appreciate it :)

Yes, correct; in fact I wrote: "not related to your patch".

I just saw those macros while reading your patch. The code is  I just noticed 
that those macros are useless (in case someone wanted to
address that issue). 

Obviously, if you find it interesting, you shouldn't do that in your series,
because it is entirely unrelated to the purpose of your work.

I hope now I've made it clearer, sorry.

After the messages I wrote yesterday, I had some minutes to look deeper at the 
code that would be changed by these patches.

I think that it does not look like that the driver could return "random stack 
values into registers" and I think this entire series in unnecessary. 

As far as I understand this driver (though I must admit that I really don't 
know how to write drivers, and I'm not interested in understanding - at the 
moment, at least), all the usb_read*() call usbctrl_vendorreq() and the latter 
*does* proper error checking before returning to the callers the read data. 

Please, look at the code copied from usbctrl_vendorreq() and pasted here (some 
comments are mine):

/* start of code */
static int usbctrl_vendorreq(struct intf_hdl *pintfhdl, u16 value, void 
*pdata, u16 len, u8 requesttype)
{

/* test if everything is OK for transfers and setup the necessary variables */
[...] 

status = usb_control_msg(udev, pipe, REALTEK_USB_VENQT_CMD_REQ,
                                         reqtype, value, 
REALTEK_USB_VENQT_CMD_IDX,
                                         pIo_buf, len, 
RTW_USB_CONTROL_MSG_TIMEOUT);

                if (status == len) {   /*  Success this control transfer. */
                        rtw_reset_continual_urb_error(dvobjpriv);
                        if (requesttype == 0x01)
                                memcpy(pdata, pIo_buf,  len); /* pdata 
receives the read data */
	} else { /*  error cases */

[...]

}
/* end of code */

So, *I cannot ack this RFC*, unless maintainers say I'm missing something.

Larry, Philip, since you have much more knowledge than me about r8188eu (and, 
more in general, on device drivers) may you please say what you think about my 
arguments against this series?

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi, Fabio!

Thank you for looking into this, but I still can see the case when pdata 
won't be initialized:


pdata is initialized only in case of successful transfer, i.e len > 0. 
It means some data was received (maybe not full length, but anyway). In 
case of usb_control_msg() error (for example -ENOMEM) code only does 
this code block:

if (status < 0) {
	if (status == (-ESHUTDOWN) || status == -ENODEV) {
		adapt->bSurpriseRemoved = true;
	} else {
		struct hal_data_8188e	*haldata = GET_HAL_DATA(adapt);
		haldata->srestpriv.Wifi_Error_Status = USB_VEN_REQ_CMD_FAIL;
	}
}


And then just loops further. In case of 10 ENOMEM in a row,. passed 
pdata won't be initialized at all and driver doesn't do anything about 
it. I believe, it's not good approach to play with random values. We 
should somehow handle transfer errors all across the driver.

If I am missing something, please, let me know :)

Pavel Skripkin

It's up to the callers of _rtw_usb*() to check return values and then act 
accordingly. 

It doesn't matter whether or not *pdata is initialized because usb_read*() 
returns data = 0 if usb_control_msg() has not initialized/changed  its third 
parameter. Then _rtw_read*() receive 0 or initialized data depending on errors 
or no errors. Finally _rtw_read*() returns that same value to the callers (via 
r_val). 

So, it's up to the callers to test if (!_rtw_read*()) and then act 
accordingly. If they get 0 they should know how to handle the errors.

Furthermore, we have already either adapt->bSurpriseRemoved = true or haldata-
>srestpriv.Wifi_Error_Status = USB_VEN_REQ_CMD_FAIL. Depending on contexts 
where _rtw_read*() are called, perhaps they could also check the two variables 
above.

In summation. if anything should be changed, it is the code of the callers of 
_rtw_read*() if you find out they they don't properly handle the returning 
values of this function. You should find every place where _rtw_read*() are 
called and figure out if the returns are properly checked and handled; if not, 
make some change only there.

Larry, Philip, where are you? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Fabio

Typo.

Replace "_rtw_usb*()" with "_rtw_read*()".

My fault. Sorry :(

Yes, but _rtw_read*() == 0 indicates 2 states:

	1. Error on transfer side
	2. Actual register value is 0

Yes, Wifi_Error_Status can be used, but it's set every time an error 
occurred. For example if 8th usb_control_msg() was successful 
Wifi_Error_Status will be set to error anyway. It's can be easily fixed, 
of course.

IMO, we should switch to standard way of handling these type of errors 
to move the driver out of staging someday


BTW: syzbot already found uninit value bug in r817xu driver:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=3cd92b1d85428b128503bfa7a250294c9ae00bd8

The usb related code in these drivers is the same, so bugs I am talking 
about are real.

That's not a good design, it should be fixed.  Note there is the new
usb_control_msg_recv() function which should probably be used instead
here, to prevent this problem from happening.

Relax, there is no need to get jumpy, people do not have to respond
instantly to emails here.  Especially when it is not their job to do so.

Thank you, Greg, for confirmation. That's was the point why I started to 
write this series :)

I think, usb_control_msg_recv() won't help us with this problem, since 
all rtw_read*() functions return an unsigned value now. In future, when 
driver code will be fixed (ex: a lot of void function, which can fail 
and leave passed pointer uninitialized) we can move to new usb API and 
then move driver out of staging :)

That function _should_ be used at the lower levels of this call chain.
If you want to go from the top -> down or bottom -> up of fixing this is
your choice, but as others have pointed out, this patch series as-is
still needs some work.

I think that no functions should return 0 for signaling FAILURE. If I'm not 
wrong, the kernel quite always prefers to return 0 on SUCCESS and <0 on 
FAILURE. Why don't you just fix this?

I should have placed a big smile at the end of the phrase. I was just kidding 
while trying to get their attention. I know there is no hurry and that no one 
has any obligation of this kind. Again, just kidding :)

Fix what specifically here?  The usb_control_msg() call?  If so, that is
why usb_control_msg_recv() was created, as sometimes you do want to do
what usb_control_msg() does today (see the users in the USB core today
for examples of why this is needed.)

In general, yes, 0 is success, negative is error, and positive is the
number of bytes read/written.

Anyway, let's see the second round of patches here before continuing
this thread...

thanks,

greg k-h

That's what I've done in v2. All rtw_read* family will have following 
prototype in v2:

int __must_check _rtw_read8(struct adapter *adapter, u32 addr, u8 *data);


Was it your idea, or you were talking about different approach?

Hi, Greg, Larry and Phillip!

I noticed, that new staging driver was added like 3 weeks ago and I decided
to look at the code, because drivers in staging directory are always buggy.

The first thing I noticed is *no one* was checking read operations result, but
it can fail and driver may start writing random stack values into registers. It
can cause driver misbehavior or device misbehavior.

To avoid this type of bugs, i've changed rtw_read* API. Now all rtw_read
funtions return an error, when something went wrong with usb transfer.

It helps callers to break/return earlier and don't write random values to
registers or to rely on random values.

Why is this pacth series RFC?
  1. I don't have this device and I cannot test these changes.
  2. I don't know how to handle errors in each particular case. For now, function
     just returns or returns an error. That's all. I hope, driver maintainers will
     help with these bits.
  3. I guess, I handled not all uninit value bugs here. I hope, I fixed
     at least half of them


v1 -> v2:
  1. Make rtw_read*() return an error instead of initializing pointer to error
  2. Split one huge patch to smaller ones for each rtw_read{8,16,32} function
     changes
  3. Add new macro for printing register values (It helps to not copy-paste error
     handling)
  4. Removed {read,write}_macreg (Suggested by Phillip)
  5. Rebased on top of staging-next
  6. Cleaned checkpatch errors and warnings

Only build-tested, since I don't have device with r8118eu chip

These 2 functions are unused, so they can be simply removed

There are a lof of places, where DBG_88E() is used to print register
value. Since following patches change _rtw_read*() family
prototypes, we can wrap printing registers into useful macro to avoid
open-coding error checking like this:

	u32 tmp;
	if (!rtw_read(&tmp))
		DBG("reg = %d\n", tmp);

So, added DBG_88E_REG{8,16,32} macros for printing register values.

_rtw_read8 function can fail in case of usb transfer failure. But
previous function prototype wasn't designed to return an error to
caller. It can cause a lot uninit value bugs all across the driver code,
since rtw_read8() returns local stack variable to caller.

Fix it by changing the prototype of this function. Now it returns an
int: 0 on success, negative error value on failure and callers should pass
the pointer to storage location for register value.

_rtw_read16 function can fail in case of usb transfer failure. But
previous function prototype wasn't designed to return an error to
caller. It can cause a lot uninit value bugs all across the driver code,
since rtw_read16() returns local stack variable to caller.

Fix it by changing the prototype of this function. Now it returns an
int: 0 on success, negative error value on failure and callers should pass
the pointer to storage location for register value.

_rtw_read32 function can fail in case of usb transfer failure. But
previous function prototype wasn't designed to return an error to
caller. It can cause a lot uninit value bugs all across the driver code,
since rtw_read32() returns local stack variable to caller.

Fix it by changing the prototype of this function. Now it returns an
int: 0 on success, negative error value on failure and callers should pass
the pointer to storage location for register value.

  Cc: linux-staging, linux-kernel, Pavel Skripkin

ReadEFuse can fail in case of _rtw_read() failure. Callers should
handle this error to avoid uninit value bugs, since ReadEFuse
won't initialized passed pbuf in case of usb transfer failure.

To achieve it, ReadEFuseByte() now returns an int and all callers of
ReadEFuseByte() passes error code up to calltrace to rtw_usb_if1_init(),
which fails when reading regiters fails.

Dear Fabio,

I can't speak for anyone else, but I will reply to as many e-mails as
I'm able - there is no need to try and get my attention, you shall
have it by default, as and when I am able to give it :-)

As V2 has been sent out by Pavel, I will try and take a look soon.

Regards,
Phil

Dear Fabio,

I can't speak for anyone else, but I will reply to as many e-mails as
I'm able - there is no need to try and get my attention, you shall
have it by default, as and when I am able to give it :-)

As V2 has been sent out by Pavel, I will try and take a look soon.

Regards,
Phil

BTW, can you recommend any devices with this chip except for ASUS

delivery price to Russia.

I want to help with testing and moving this driver out of staging 
directory :)

Pavel,

Yes, it is correct.

However, after that I had time to look at the calls chain and understand what 
each function does and then I saw that my initial proposal should be made
along with another one...

The calls chain is:

(1)        _rtw_read8()  <--- (returns the data read from next function in chain) 
                                            (no errors returned, see possible fix in next function)
(2)                usb_read8() <--- (returns the data read from next function in chain) 
                                                 (_data_may_be_unitialised_, no errors returned)
		  (possible fix: from "u8 data"; to "char data = -1;")
(3)                           usbctrl_vendorreq() <---- (returns data read from next function in chain)
		                            (data is always a valid pointer saved to third argument)
		                            (if it fails, the third argument is unchanged because it
		                            still has the address of the "data" argument given by the caller)
(4)	                usb_control_msg() <---- (it always returns how many bytes read or valid error codes)
		                                  (it _never_ returns 0: either positive or negative values)
		
I have not yet looked at the usb_control_msg_recv() which Greg talked about.

To summarize: in function (2) "u8 data" should become "char data = -1;".

Regards,

Fabio

P.S.: I was about to send this message while I see that you sent v2. Since I've already have
this response to your question I send it and soon after I'm going to read your v2 patches.

Hi Pavel,

My one is a TP-LINK WN725N (not sure, but I guess v2).
You could also have a look at the device table in os_dep/usb_intf.c

Anyway char will be cast to u8 and -1 will become 0xff. 0xff is still 
valid register value, I guess.

So, anyway caller _should_ somehow receive an error from 
usb_control_msg(). We can just change rtw_read{8,16,32} return values 
from u{8,16,32} to int32, but anyway it will require all changes, that 
I've done in this series, but in slightly different form. I.e temp int32 
variable + error checking + casting int to u{8,16,32}.

Doesn't it make sense to just switch to more standard prototype (*)? All 
other drivers use this prototype for their private reading functions.

Wow! I found this one in my city, thank you!

Yep, but I wanted to hear from driver reviewers/maintainers about what 
they use to test. I guess, some devices could be broken or not unwieldy 
to use. Thank you for recommendation, will buy one in few days :)

Hi Pavel,

I've just read your v2 of the series. I had no time to read each and every line, 
however, I suppose that I saw enough to say that I think they are a huge 
improvement over v1. I really like your patches and if I were you, I'd drop
that RFC tag.

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi Pavel,

I've read more code of your series and I'm ready to give a formal ack. However,
I'm not sure about the rules: can it be also given to RFC or only to "real" patches?

As I've already said, they look good and I like them. So, the entire series is...

Acked-by: Fabio M. De Francesco <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com>

If the rules don't allow to formally ack RFC, I will be happy to ack again the final product.

I also want to say that I enjoyed discussing this work with you on this long thread. :-)

Thanks,

Fabio

AFAIK, RFC patches can be treated as normal patches, if 
reviewers/maintainers don't have objections to code. I am not sure about 
it, since it's my first experience with RFCs :)

Anyway, thank you for ACKing. Let's see what Larry thinks about it. I 
believe, he can find some bugs in my code since it's not tested at all 
:) I hope, my r8118eu device will come soon and I will be able to test 
this series...

Me too, thank you. Technical discussions are the best part of linux 
kernel development process, IMO :)

Dear Pavel,

Glad you found one :-) Mine is the N10-Nano as that was all I could
find at the time.

Dear Pavel,

Thanks for this. I like the code a lot. One thing I am conflicted on
is the helper macro for the printing of register values though. Whilst
I'm not necessarily opposed to the concept of the macro itself, I
don't think it should rely on GlobalDebugLevel for one thing - if we
are going to control printing of messages at runtime then in my mind
this should be done via debugfs and pr_debug or similar - an in-kernel
mechanism rather than something driver-provided. Also, the example you
give of:

        u32 tmp;
        if (!rtw_read(&tmp))
                DBG("reg = %d\n", tmp);

Doesn't seem overly unclear to me if DBG was a pr_debug or similar,
but I get what you're saying about repetition. This is just a small
thing though, would be interested to see what others think. Many
thanks.

Regards,
Phil

I've copy-pasted previous DBG() macro. I have a plan to clean up these 
debug macros in future, but I want to make these clean ups on top of 
this RFC to not rebase this huge patch set many times :)

To be honest, I made this macro, because I am lazy :P rtw_dbg_port() had 
a lot DBG_88E() calls with just register value, so I decided to wrap this.

I still believe, that this macro is useful, since callers won't care 
about creating temp variable and checking read() error code. This macro 
doesn't cover situation, where we want to print register + smth else, so 
if you have any idea about improvements, please, let me know :)

Btw, did you have a chance to test these changes? My r8188eu device 
_should_ come in few days, so I am not able to test it right now :)

Dear Pavel,

OK, found the issue with decoded stack trace after reviewing this
usb_read32 function. Your line:
res = usbctrl_vendorreq(pintfhdl, wvalue, &data, len, requesttype);

should read:
res = usbctrl_vendorreq(pintfhdl, wvalue, &tmp, len, requesttype);

With this change, the driver runs fine with no crashes/oopses. I will
explain the issue but you can probably see already, so I hope I'm not
coming across as patronising, just trying to be helpful :-)

Essentially, you are taking the address of the data function parameter
on this line with &data, a pointer to u32, which is giving you a
pointer to a pointer to u32 (u32 **) for this function parameter
variable. When passed to usbctrl_vendorreq, it is being passed to
memcpy inside this function as a void *, meaning that memcpy
subsequently overwrites the value of the memory address inside data to
point to a different location, which is problem when it is later
deferenced at:
*data = le32_to_cpu(tmp);
causing the OOPS

Also, as written, you can probably see that tmp is uninitialised. This
looks like a typo, so guessing this wasn't your intention. Anyhow,
with that small change, usbctrl_vendorreq reads into tmp, which is
then passed to le32_to_cpu whose return value is stored via the
deferenced data ptr (which now has its original address within and not
inadvertently modified). Hope this helps, and I'd be happy to Ack the
series if you want to resend this patch. Many thanks.

Regards,
Phil

Dear Philip,

No, it should read:

res = usbctrl_vendorreq(pintfhdl, wvalue, data, len, requesttype);

I suspect that Pavel didn't notice he was reusing a line of the old code 
wth no due changes.

I think that another typo is having 'tmp', because that variable is unnecessary
and "*data = le32_to_cpu(tmp);" is wrong too.

Now I also see that also usb_read16() is wrong, while usb_read8() (the one that 
I had read yesterday) is the only correct function of the three usb_read*().

Hi, guys!


Sorry for breaking your system, Phillip. This code was part of "last 
minute" changes and yes, it's broken :)

I get what Phillip said, because I _should_ read into tmp variable 
instead of directly to data, but I don't get Fabio's idea, sorry.

Data from chip comes in little-endian, so we _should_ convert it to 
cpu's endian. Temp variable is needed to make smatch and all other 
static anylis tools happy about this code.


If I am missing something, please, let me know :) v3 is on the way...

The most strange thing is why gcc didn't complain about different 
pointer types... I think, that gcc must complain about this type of not 
explicit casts, because 99% it's a bug.


Again big thanks for analysis :)

Add a return here.  Try to keep the success path and the failure path
as separate as possible.  Try to keep the success path indented at one
tab so the code looks like this:

	success();
	success();
	if (fail)
		handle_failure();
	success();
	success();

Try to deal with exceptions as quickly as possible so that the reader
has less to remember.

Ugh...  That's unfortunate.  We should actually care.  The
usbctrl_vendorreq() has an information leak where it copies len (4)
bytes of data even if usb_control_msg() is not able to read len bytes.

The best fix would be to remove the information leak and make
usbctrl_vendorreq() return zero on success.  In other words something
like:

	status = usb_control_msg();
	if (status < 0)

I see, thank you for reviewing, will fix in v3! I fully forgot, that 
usb_control_msg() can receive only part of the message :)

Hi, Greg, Larry and Phillip!

I noticed, that new staging driver was added like 3 weeks ago and I decided
to look at the code, because drivers in staging directory are always buggy.

The first thing I noticed is *no one* was checking read operations result, but
it can fail and driver may start writing random stack values into registers. It
can cause driver misbehavior or device misbehavior.

To avoid this type of bugs, i've changed rtw_read* API. Now all rtw_read
funtions return an error, when something went wrong with usb transfer.

It helps callers to break/return earlier and don't write random values to
registers or to rely on random values.


v2 -> v3:
  1. Fixed OOPS in usb_read32(), caused by writing to u32 **
  2. Fixed style in rtw_read32, rtw_read16 and rtw_read8 (Suggested by Dan)
  3. Added error hanling when usb_control_msg() returns ret != len
     NOTE: Dan suggested to add this to usbctrl_vendorreq(), but there is
     pending series, which will get rid of usb_control_msg(), so (res != len)
     check can be removed, when Fabio's series will go in
  4. Removed RFC tag

v1 -> v2:
  1. Make rtw_read*() return an error instead of initializing pointer to error
  2. Split one huge patch to smaller ones for each rtw_read{8,16,32} function
     changes
  3. Add new macro for printing register values (It helps to not copy-paste error
     handling)
  4. Removed {read,write}_macreg (Suggested by Phillip)
  5. Rebased on top of staging-next
  6. Cleaned checkpatch errors and warnings


Phillip has tested fixed v2 version, AFAIU

There are a lof of places, where DBG_88E() is used to print register
value. Since following patches change _rtw_read*() family
prototypes, we can wrap printing registers into useful macro to avoid
open-coding error checking like this:

	u32 tmp;
	if (!rtw_read(&tmp))
		DBG("reg = %d\n", tmp);

So, added DBG_88E_REG{8,16,32} macros for printing register values.

_rtw_read8 function can fail in case of usb transfer failure. But
previous function prototype wasn't designed to return an error to
caller. It can cause a lot uninit value bugs all across the driver code,
since rtw_read8() returns local stack variable to caller.

Fix it by changing the prototype of this function. Now it returns an
int: 0 on success, negative error value on failure and callers should pass
the pointer to storage location for register value.

_rtw_read16 function can fail in case of usb transfer failure. But
previous function prototype wasn't designed to return an error to
caller. It can cause a lot uninit value bugs all across the driver code,
since rtw_read16() returns local stack variable to caller.

Fix it by changing the prototype of this function. Now it returns an
int: 0 on success, negative error value on failure and callers should pass
the pointer to storage location for register value.

_rtw_read32 function can fail in case of usb transfer failure. But
previous function prototype wasn't designed to return an error to
caller. It can cause a lot uninit value bugs all across the driver code,
since rtw_read32() returns local stack variable to caller.

Fix it by changing the prototype of this function. Now it returns an
int: 0 on success, negative error value on failure and callers should pass
the pointer to storage location for register value.

  Cc: linux-staging, linux-kernel, Pavel Skripkin

ReadEFuse can fail in case of _rtw_read() failure. Callers should
handle this error to avoid uninit value bugs, since ReadEFuse
won't initialized passed pbuf in case of usb transfer failure.

To achieve it, ReadEFuseByte() now returns an int and all callers of
ReadEFuseByte() passes error code up to calltrace to rtw_usb_if1_init(),
which fails when reading regiters fails.

Hi Pavel,

I (wrongly?) assumed from the prototype of usb_read32() that u32 *data is in native
endianness. So, I didn't see the necessity of using _le32 tmp and then convert that tmp
with le32_to_cpu().

I simply thought that data could be passed to usbctrl_vendorreq as it-is.

Now that you explained that "Data from chip comes in little-endian", obviously 
I must agree with you that the code needs tmp and that tmp must be 
swapped by le32_to_cpu(), ahead of assigning it to *data.

Just a curiosity... Since I was not able to see that *data is returned in little endian,
can you please point me where in the code you found out that it is? There must
be some place in the code that I'm unable to find and see that *data is LE. 

Thanks in advance,

Fabio

Hi, Fabio!

previous usb_read16() realization, which is 100% right:


static u16 usb_read16(struct intf_hdl *pintfhdl, u32 addr)
{
	u8 requesttype;
	u16 wvalue;
	u16 len;
	__le32 data;

	requesttype = 0x01;/* read_in */
	wvalue = (u16)(addr & 0x0000ffff);
	len = 2;
	usbctrl_vendorreq(pintfhdl, wvalue, &data, len, requesttype);

	return (u16)(le32_to_cpu(data) & 0xffff);
}


Bases on this code, I think, it's oblivious, that data comes in 
little-endian. That's why I leaved temp variable for casting le32 to 
cpu's endianess.

I could just read into u{16,32} * and then make smth like

*data = le32_to_cpu(*data)

but static analysis tools will complain about wrong data type passed to 
  le32_to_cpu()

+ Phillip tested fixed v2 version and it worked well for him. I guess, 
Phillip was able to spot weird driver behavior, if this cast is wrong.

I am wrong with this statement, I guess. Most likely, Phillip is testing

Ah, it was in plain sight! How didn't I notice it? :(

Yes you did well (if we trust the old code :)), anyway I guess it
was correct because I've just seen that data is __le32 also in other Realtek
drivers.

Obviously the (not broken) tools should catch that and complain.

With the use of the new API I think that you don't have anymore
partial messages. usb_control_msg() returns the number of bytes 
transferred, while usb_control_msg_recv/send return only 0 if successful
otherwise a negative error number.

In my mind we can't necessarily assume we are running on a little
endian CPU, even if we probably are for practical purposes. That's why
my fix looked how it did, but I'm happy to be corrected :-) Also, I
can see Dan has looked at the code with suggestions as well. I know
you have published v3 - sorry, not had time to review/test it yet.

Phil

In my mind we can't necessarily assume we are running on a little
endian CPU, even if we probably are for practical purposes. That's why
my fix looked how it did, but I'm happy to be corrected :-) Also, I
can see Dan has looked at the code with suggestions as well. I know
you have published v3 - sorry, not had time to review/test it yet.

Dear Pavel,

You're correct in your assumption, my testing environment is an
little-endian x64 QEMU VM with USB passthrough for the wireless
adapter. I prefer to test this way so that driver crashes don't bring
down the whole machine :-)

Dear Pavel,

Please note that if and when my patch "Use usb_control_msg_recv / send () in 
usbctrl_vendorreq ()" will be merged, "if (res! = len)" will always evaluate 'true' 
and usb_read16 () will always return -EIO even if usbctrl_vendorreq () succeeds.

Yep, thank you, but it depends on which series will go in first :)

There is a chance, that you will need to clean up this part, if mine 
will be merged before yours

Ha-ha ... I know that beautiful rule: whoever breaks must fix! 
However there should be another rule which says that
the old (me) takes precedence over the young (you) :-)

Seriously, thank you so much for your help and the "Reviewed by" 
tag on my work.

The main problem, that no one knows who is the "old". Greg can take 
patches in any order he wants, because they are naturally independent :)


We only can say smth like "this one depends on this one" as reply to 
patch to inform Greg about the situation.

I had already acked your series when it was an RFC but I guess
the tag gets lost now that you have submitted the "real" patches.

As said, I like the purpose and the overall design. Furthermore,
I have compiled and linked the whole series (make C=2 -j8 
drivers/staging/r8188eu W=1) and I can confirm it does not
introduce any errors and/or warnings.

Anyway I couldn't test the module, so (for all six patches)...

Acked-by: Fabio M. De Francesco <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com>

Thanks,

Fabio

Ok, but if pending patch needs new version, then it will be taken at the 
end?

Here is the situation we have:

	I have the patch series based on old function behavior, it was
	posted first

	Then Fabio posted refactoring of the function and it changes
	return values.


Both series are pending right now and made on top of staging-next 
branch. Who needs to rebase? I think, applying these series as-is can 
broke the driver, since error handling will be broken

Pavel Skripkin

Versions don't matter.  No one is tracking any of that.

A patch arrives.  It is either applied or rejected.  First come first
serve.

That's a bug then.  The patch should be rejected.  You're not allowed to
break the code.

Also don't write patches which lead to merge order breaking the code
silently.  That makes it difficult for stable as well.  For example,
don't do this:

-void frob(int a, int b);
+void frob(int b, int a);

In that case, you would change the name of the function so that the
build would break when people mix old and new code.

Pavel, Dan,

Did you really take my "old" vs. "young" precedence rule seriously?

I was just kidding, ahead of thanking Pavel for his "Reviewed-by" tag
to my patch.

That statement deserved no comment. I thought it was
clear it was just a joke :)

Thanks,

Fabio

Sorry Dan, I disagree. It's not a bug. No one intend to break the code. 
How could anyone know that someone else is working simultaneously on 
some code that is not compatible with the work of the other developer?

Pavel and I worked simultaneously on code based on the current Greg's tree.

We incidentally got to know that mine breaks his.

I suppose that Greg will take Pavel's work first, because it was submitted few 
hours before mine and then will ask me to take into account Pavel's patches, 
rebase, fix and resend mine.

Each series is self contained and does not introduce bugs to the current tree.
The bugs will arise when Greg will have applied one of the two series as usually 
in a FIFO order.

There's no practical means to know who is working to what just by reading all 
the messages of the lists. Who reads all the messages before deciding to work 
on something? This issue will be solved a way or the other, I really don't think it 
is a big problem, it's unavoidable when a lot of people work on the same 
driver or subsystem.

Fabio

For sake of completeness I want to say that when Pavel had only submitted RFC v2
my code didn't break his. It was only with his v3 that the bug went out. But v3 was 
submitted just few hours before mine.

Okay, I haven't been following the discussion closely.  If these patches
introduce a known bug, then I am going to be cross.

I'm really stressed out right now.  If you at all suspect that your
patches are going to introduce bugs then just go back and say "Sorry,
don't take this one, the way it conflicts with Pavels ends up
introducing a bug.  I'll resend after Pavel's patches are applied."

dan carpenter

Dear Dan,

Yours is a nice solution to this problem. 

I had thought that I should have waited for Greg to ask to take into account Pavel's 
series, change some lines of his code (because they are the only users of the new 
version of the helper function, that is my work - as suggested by Greg himself), 
rebase and resend, I really think that your idea is better.

I'll do as you suggest ASAP, within the end of the day (now I have to go).

Thanks very much.

Fabio

AFAIK, at least 2 guys except me in this CC list compiled my series 
without errors/warnings. Maybe, staging tree is missing some Makefile 
updates?


I'll resend series this evening anyway, but this is strange....

Hm...  In my version of GCC the error is:

drivers/staging/r8188eu/hal/usb_halinit.c:1870:3: error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration is not a statement

That's a different error from what I was expecting.  It's caused by
having a declaration directly after a case statement.  The warning that
I was expecting was from -Wdeclaration-after-statement and it looks
like this:

warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Wdeclaration-after-statement]

You really should try investigate why this compiles for you because
something is going wrong.  It should not build without a warning.

dan carpenter

Looks like it's bug in gcc 11.1.1. I've rebuilt this module with gcc 10 
(gcc-10 (SUSE Linux) 10.3.1 20210707 [revision 
048117e16c77f82598fca9af585500572d46ad73]) and build fails with error 
described above


My default gcc is

gcc (SUSE Linux) 11.1.1 20210721 [revision 
076930b9690ac3564638636f6b13bbb6bc608aea]


Any idea? :)

The original report said the build was with clang-14, which is near
top of tree and unreleased. It's possible that that build had a bug
that hopefully was reverted.

Dear Pavel,

I have to inform you that building patch v3 3/6 with gcc (version 11.1.1 20210721 
[revision 076930b9690ac3564638636f6b13bbb6bc608aea] (SUSE Linux)), gives
the following warning:

drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c:2258:13: warning: variable ‘error’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
 2258 |         int error;
      |             ^~~~~

I'm sorry, but I guess that for some reason previously I had only built v2 of your patch 
which had no warnings at all. 

Unfortunately, introducing warnings is not allowed.

While we are at this, I can also confirm that GCC 11.1.1 _does_ _not_ emit the warning 
that has been reported by the kernel test robot. 

Regards,

Fabio

Yep, I see, thank you. v4 is on the way... I had a plan to send v4 
yesterday, but I've finally received r8188eu device.

I tried to connect it and test and.... driver didn't work :) So, I will 
try to figure out the problem with driver (or device) and will send v4.

Again, thank you for report :) My default gcc is too polite...

Don't get it, sorry. Previous code did exactly the same thing, but
didn't check if read() was successful.

Pretty horrid API interface.
Functions like readl() - which can fail just return ~0u and let
the caller worry about whether that causes serious grief.

You could make all the read functions return __u64 and return ~0ull
on error.
Testing for (value & 1ull << 63) will be reasonable even on 32bit.

Kill the NULL check - it is a silly coding error.
An OOPS is just as easy to debug.

I am not the best at API related questions, so can you, please,
explain why your approach is better? 

As I can see, most of the drivers in usb/ directory use smth like this
interface for private reading funcions. We anyway creating tmp variable
(but 64 bit _always_) and checking for mistery error, which we cannot
pass up to callers.

Sorry, if it's _too_ dumb question, but I really can't get your
point....

I don't think that one single driver should kill the whole system. It's
100% an error, but kernel can recover from it (for example disconnect
the driver, since it's broken).


AFIAK, Greg and Linus do not like BUG_ONs in recoverable state...
Correct me, if I am wrong

Oops, I thought about BUG_ON() instead of WARN_ON(), sorry for

There is no point checking for NULL that just can't happen.
In this case all the callers will pass the address of a local.
There really is no point checking.

No, please work to remove these messy things, do not add new ones.

Why is this ever needed?  And if it is, use the correct in-kernel debug
functions please.

Why do you need this extra pointer abstraction anyway?  Please unwind
that first, which will make this function go away (or get easier to
understand at the least...)

We not always read in local variable, there are few places, where we 
read into passed buffer.

It was there before my changes :) I had a plan to clean up DBG macros 
and this abstraction after adding error handling...


If you feel, that these clean up are needed before error handling, I can 
add them to this series :) Anyway, some of them are already in my local 
tree

It is still a very local coding bug.

No, Clang is right to refuse to build the code.  It's GCC 11.1.1 which
is wrong because it allows it.  I'm not C language expert but we're
using the -Wdeclaration-after-statement because we don't want this.

It's hard to understand what you are saying.  I think you are confusing
libc snprintf with the kernel snprintf?  In libc the snprintf function
can return negatives but in the kernel it cannot.  This is not going
to change.  Any code which checks for negative snprintf returns in the
kernel is wrong and should be fixed.

Anyway, the code works fine.  snprintf here is going to return a number
between 18-32 range.  It's not going to overflow the PAGE_SIZE buffer.

It would be nicer to use scnprint() but that's an unrelated patch.

Also this is all dead code.  It needs to be converted to sysfs.  The
caller is ifdeffed out because it doesn't compile.

Sure, but is defensive programming so bad?

Yes it is, for when it is not needed.

> Greg, what your opinion about this NULL check?

Never check for things that you know are not going to happen.  Otherwise
the kernel would just be full of pointless checks everywhere.

And why are you waiting for me to tell you this?  Why do you not believe
David?

Hi Pavel.

If v4 is needed can you please send it without replying to old message.
This thread is so hard to follow because always new version is answer to
old subject. This depens a little bit how you setup your email, but some
of us is grouping all emails in same thread and this thread is out of
control :D

Thanks

Hi, Kari!

v4 will be posted soon, yep. I will post v4 as separate thread :) It's 
unreal to follow the discussion for sure. I often spend about a minute

IIRC it is also in a loop ...

Maybe, but the idiom is just broken.
Largely the result of snprintf() is never the value you are looking
for and should be ignored.

Userspace fprintf() is even worse.
If you care about the write failing you need to call fflush()
and then ferror() (typically before fclose()).

Fortunately I've never seen a 'must check' attribute on it.

AFAIK, snprintf return value is largely used in sysfs at least.

$ grep -Ir "= snprintf" | wc -l
1200

Anyway, I will convert this dead code to sysfs interface and maybe 
snprintf will go away...



Thank you for your help and comments

Oh my goodness...  :P

If you look at what proc_get_read_addr is, it turns out it's a 32bit
address which is controlled by the user in proc_set_read_reg().  LOL!
Just a giant security hole.

My advise is just delete this dead code.  No one is using it so how
necessary can it be?

dan carpenter

Yep, it's dead code as was already mentioned. My plan is to convert all 
this code to sysfs. One thing I am wondering about should I include 
these changes into this series?...

I thought this was a good plan until a few minutes ago when I noticed it
was a ***GIANT SECURITY HOLE***!  :P

I mean presumably this is root controlled but these days we try to
restrict root as well in some ways.  Even confined to root only, this
code is incredibly risky and bad.  Don't convert it.  Just delete it.
