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?
