hi,
the following commit added some code in test_hash_cycles() which coverity flags
as dead code.
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e9d41164e2fdd897fe4520c2079ea0000f6e0ec3
The culprit are the following lines:
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
- crypto_digest_init(tfm);
+ ret = crypto_hash_init(desc);
+ if (ret)
+ goto out;
for (pcount = 0; pcount < blen; pcount += plen) {
sg_set_buf(sg, p + pcount, plen);
- crypto_digest_update(tfm, sg, 1);
+ ret = crypto_hash_update(desc, sg, plen);
+ if (ret)
+ goto out;
}
- crypto_digest_final(tfm, out);
+ crypto_hash_final(desc, out);
+ if (ret)
+ goto out;
}
We check ret before the for loop, and inside it, and
there is no way it can change in between. Are we missing
to assign the return value of crypto_hash_final() to ret?
Greetings, Eric
