Subject: re: platform/surface: Add Surface Aggregator user-space interface
 (static analysis issues)

Hi Maximilian,

Static analysis of linux-next with Coverity has found several issues
with the following commit:

commit 178f6ab77e617c984d6520b92e747075a12676ff

    platform/surface: Add Surface Aggregator user-space interface

The analysis is as follows:

65static long ssam_cdev_request(struct ssam_cdev *cdev, unsigned long arg)
 66{
 67        struct ssam_cdev_request __user *r;
 68        struct ssam_cdev_request rqst;

   1. var_decl: Declaring variable spec without initializer.

 69        struct ssam_request spec;
 70        struct ssam_response rsp;
 71        const void __user *plddata;
 72        void __user *rspdata;
 73        int status = 0, ret = 0, tmp;
 74
 75        r = (struct ssam_cdev_request __user *)arg;
 76        ret = copy_struct_from_user(&rqst, sizeof(rqst), r, sizeof(*r));

   2. Condition ret, taking true branch.

 77        if (ret)

   3. Jumping to label out.

 88        spec.flags = 0;
 89        spec.length = rqst.payload.length;
 90        spec.payload = NULL;

 92        if (rqst.flags & SSAM_CDEV_REQUEST_HAS_RESPONSE)
 93                spec.flags |= SSAM_REQUEST_HAS_RESPONSE;

 95        if (rqst.flags & SSAM_CDEV_REQUEST_UNSEQUENCED)
 96                spec.flags |= SSAM_REQUEST_UNSEQUENCED;
 97
 98        rsp.capacity = rqst.response.length;
 99        rsp.length = 0;
100        rsp.pointer = NULL;

106                        goto out;
