Subject: re: ALSA: usb-audio: Handle error for the current selector gracefully [ uninitialized variable issue ]
Date: Thu, 20 May 2021 09:58:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4b261d68-f53f-240d-2d8a-2f88b337849d@canonical.com> (raw)

Hi,

Static analysis with Coverity on linux-next has detected an
uninitialized variable issue with the following commit:

commit 481f17c41803985446fd12887b2c042f9c43b0d5

    ALSA: usb-audio: Handle error for the current selector gracefully

The branching is a bit convoluted and we end up with variable cur not
being initialized. Analysis is as follows:

254static int __uac_clock_find_source(struct snd_usb_audio *chip,
255                                   const struct audioformat *fmt, int
entity_id,
256                                   unsigned long *visited, bool validate)
257{
258        union uac23_clock_source_desc *source;
259        union uac23_clock_selector_desc *selector;
260        union uac23_clock_multiplier_desc *multiplier;

   1. var_decl: Declaring variable cur without initializer.

261        int ret, i, cur, err, pins, clock_id;
262        const u8 *sources;
263        int proto = fmt->protocol;
264
265        entity_id &= 0xff;
266

   2. Condition test_and_set_bit(entity_id, visited), taking false
branch.

267        if (test_and_set_bit(entity_id, visited)) {
268                usb_audio_warn(chip,
269                         "%s(): recursive clock topology detected, id
%d.\n",
270                         __func__, entity_id);
271                return -EINVAL;
272        }
273
274        /* first, see if the ID we're looking for is a clock source
already */
275        source = snd_usb_find_clock_source(chip, entity_id, proto);

   3. Condition source, taking false branch.

276        if (source) {
277                entity_id = GET_VAL(source, proto, bClockID);
278                if (validate && !uac_clock_source_is_valid(chip, fmt,
279
entity_id)) {
280                        usb_audio_err(chip,
281                                "clock source %d is not valid, cannot
use\n",
282                                entity_id);
283                        return -ENXIO;
284                }
285                return entity_id;
286        }
287
288        selector = snd_usb_find_clock_selector(chip, entity_id, proto);

   4. Condition selector, taking true branch.
289        if (selector) {
   5. Condition proto == 48, taking true branch.
290                pins = GET_VAL(selector, proto, bNrInPins);
   6. Condition proto == 48, taking true branch.
291                clock_id = GET_VAL(selector, proto, bClockID);
   7. Condition proto == 48, taking true branch.
292                sources = GET_VAL(selector, proto, baCSourceID);
293
   8. Condition pins == 1, taking false branch.

294                if (pins == 1) {
295                        ret = 1;
296                        goto find_source;
297                }
298
299                /* the entity ID we are looking for is a selector.
300                 * find out what it currently selects */
301                ret = uac_clock_selector_get_val(chip, clock_id);

   9. Condition ret < 0, taking true branch.

302                if (ret < 0) {

   10. Condition !chip->autoclock, taking false branch.

303                        if (!chip->autoclock)
304                                return ret;

   11. Jumping to label find_others.

305                        goto find_others;
306                }
307
308                /* Selector values are one-based */
309
310                if (ret > pins || ret < 1) {
311                        usb_audio_err(chip,
312                                "%s(): selector reported illegal
value, id %d, ret %d\n",
313                                __func__, clock_id, ret);
314
315                        if (!chip->autoclock)
316                                return -EINVAL;
317                        ret = 0;
318                        goto find_others;
319                }
320
321        find_source:
322                cur = ret;
323                ret = __uac_clock_find_source(chip, fmt,
324                                              sources[ret - 1],
325                                              visited, validate);
326                if (ret > 0) {
327                        err = uac_clock_selector_set_val(chip,
entity_id, cur);
328                        if (err < 0)
329                                return err;
330                }
331
332                if (!validate || ret > 0 || !chip->autoclock)
333                        return ret;
334
335        find_others:
336                /* The current clock source is invalid, try others. */
   12. Condition i <= pins, taking true branch.
337                for (i = 1; i <= pins; i++) {

Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)

   13. uninit_use: Using uninitialized value cur.

338                        if (i == cur)
339                                continue;
