This series handles memset related bugs indentified by PVS Studio. The root cause is that Gcc and other compilers are free to optimize away memset called before free.
Most of the places memset was being used like this were bogus; probably some developer debug habit, and can be safely removed. v6 - add stable to the ntnic bug fix - drop elimination of void cast in ntnic - unrelated change - rebase Stephen Hemminger (11): eal: introduce new secure memory fill eal: add new secure free function crypto/qat: force zero of keys crypto/qat: fix size calculation for memset crypto/qat: use secure memset bus/uacce: remove memset before free compress/octeontx: remove unnecessary memset test: remove unneeded memset net/ntnic: check result of malloc net/ntnic: remove unnecessary memset devtools/cocci: add script to find problematic memset app/test/test_cmdline_cirbuf.c | 2 -- devtools/cocci/memset_free.cocci | 20 +++++++++++++ drivers/bus/uacce/uacce.c | 1 - drivers/compress/octeontx/otx_zip.c | 1 - drivers/compress/octeontx/otx_zip_pmd.c | 2 -- drivers/crypto/qat/qat_asym.c | 5 +--- drivers/crypto/qat/qat_sym_session.c | 27 +++++++++-------- drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/core/nthw_hif.c | 5 +--- drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/core/nthw_iic.c | 5 +--- drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/core/nthw_pcie3.c | 5 +--- drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/core/nthw_rpf.c | 5 +--- drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/core/nthw_sdc.c | 5 +--- drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/core/nthw_si5340.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_cat.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_csu.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_flm.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_hfu.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_hsh.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_info.c | 5 +--- .../net/ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_km.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_pdb.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_qsl.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_rpp_lr.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_slc_lr.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_tx_cpy.c | 1 - .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_tx_ins.c | 5 +--- .../ntnic/nthw/flow_filter/flow_nthw_tx_rpl.c | 5 +--- .../net/ntnic/nthw/model/nthw_fpga_model.c | 1 - drivers/net/ntnic/nthw/nthw_rac.c | 4 ++- lib/eal/common/rte_malloc.c | 30 +++++++++++++++---- lib/eal/include/rte_malloc.h | 18 +++++++++++ lib/eal/include/rte_string_fns.h | 27 +++++++++++++++++ lib/eal/version.map | 3 ++ 33 files changed, 129 insertions(+), 108 deletions(-) create mode 100644 devtools/cocci/memset_free.cocci -- 2.47.2
