[bug #2] arcmsr: forever loop in arcmsr_polling_hbc_ccbdone()

[Dan Carpenter]

Hello Nick Cheng,

The patch cdd3cb156f19: "[SCSI] SCSI: Support Type C RAID controller"
from Jul 13, 2010, leads to the following static checker warning:

        drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c:2474 arcmsr_polling_hbc_ccbdone()
        warn: this loop depends on readl() succeeding

drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c
  2432          poll_count++;
  2433          while (1) {
  2434                  if ((readl(&reg->host_int_status) & 
ARCMSR_HBCMU_OUTBOUND_POSTQUEUE_ISR) == 0) {
                             ^^^^^
readl() returns 0xffffffff on failure (hotplug).

  2435                          if (poll_ccb_done) {
  2436                                  rtn = SUCCESS;
  2437                                  break;
  2438                          } else {
  2439                                  msleep(25);
  2440                                  if (poll_count > 100) {

We break out of the loop if we time out but this condition can only be
reached if the readl() succeeds.  Probably the intent was to time out
regardless of the readl() return value.

  2441                                          rtn = FAILED;
  2442                                          break;
