[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH 1/14 v4] IB/hfi1: Check the return value of pcie_capability_read_*()

[Saheed Olayemi Bolarinwa <refactormyself@gmail.com>]

From: Bolarinwa Olayemi Saheed <refactormyself@gmail.com>

On failure pcie_capability_read_dword() sets it's last parameter,
val to 0. In this case dn and up will be 0, so aspm_hw_l1_supported()
will return false.
However, with Patch 14/14, it is possible that val is set to ~0 on
failure. This would introduce a bug because (x & x) == (~0 & x). So with
dn and up being 0x02, a true value is return when the read has actually
failed.

This bug can be avoided if the return value of pcie_capability_read_dword
is checked to confirm success. The behaviour of the function remains
intact.

Check the return value of pcie_capability_read_dword() to ensure success.
