[PATCH 0/8] target-iSCSI: Adjustments for several function implementations

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 22:22:11 +0100

Some update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (8):
  Less function calls in chap_server_compute_md5() after error detection
  Move resetting of seven variables in chap_server_compute_md5()
  Delete 36 error messages for a failed memory allocation
  Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in iscsit_allocate_ooo_cmdsn()
  Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in iscsi_copy_param_list()
  Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in iscsi_create_default_params()
  Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in iscsi_set_default_param()
  Improve 16 size determinations

[PATCH 1/8] target/iscsi: Less function calls in chap_server_compute_md5() after error detection

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 18:00:41 +0100

The functions "crypto_free_shash", "kfree" and "kzfree" were called
in a few cases by the chap_server_compute_md5() function during error
handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.

* Adjust jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Delete initialisations for the variables "challenge", "challenge_binhex",
  "desc" and "tfm" at the beginning which became unnecessary
  with this refactoring.

Fixes: 69110e3cedbb8aad1c70d91ed58a9f4f0ed9eec6 ("iscsi-target: Use shash and ahash")
Fixes: e48354ce078c079996f89d715dfa44814b4eba01 ("iscsi-target: Add iSCSI fabric support for target v4.1")

[PATCH 1/8] target/iscsi: Less function calls in chap_server_compute_md5() after error detection

[PATCH 2/8] target/iscsi: Move resetting of seven variables in chap_server_compute_md5()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 19:43:47 +0100

Move the resetting of these array variables so that this operation will
be performed only if memory allocations succeeded before in this function.

[PATCH 3/8] target/iscsi: Delete 36 error messages for a failed memory allocation

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 21:07:16 +0100

Omit extra messages for a memory allocation failure in these functions.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 4/8] target/iscsi: Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in iscsit_allocate_ooo_cmdsn()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 21:13:49 +0100

The local variable "ooo_cmdsn" will be reassigned by a following statement.
Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 22:06:00 +0100

Replace the specification of data types by pointer dereferences

determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Re: [PATCH 0/8] target-iSCSI: Adjustments for several function implementations

Aside from the crypto_free_shash(NULL) error path fix in 1/8, I don't
see a need for any of the style-based churn here.

dereference in CHAP auth error path” which is considered for integration
into Linux stable versions now.

You're 1/8 patch had an actual bug fix hidden amongst the style churn.
I don't see any such fixes in the other patches.

My opinion from https://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg16342.html

Calling crypto_free_shash(NULL) is actually fine.  It doesn't
dereference the parameter, it just does pointer math on it in
crypto_shash_tfm() and returns if it's NULL in crypto_destroy_tfm().

Bleh, you're right. I read the crypto_shash_tfm() code path
incorrectly.

It showed the general possibility to adjust the source code structure
for the function “chap_server_compute_md5” also because of the usage
of the single jump label “out” before.

This view is appropriate.

Further update steps show different transformation possibilities.

It seems that you express a few aspects for general change resistance.
Will the circumstances evolve for similar software improvements?

Can a passed null pointer really work in this function?

Yes.  It's not a dereference, it's just doing pointer math to get the
address.

Do any processors treat the zero address still special there?

Can eventually happen anything unexpected?


Can it be nicer to avoid such a software behaviour concern generally
