Hello everybody, While looking into Coverity ID 1408721 I ran into the following piece of code at /drivers/pwm/pwm-mediatek.c:77: 77static int mtk_pwm_config(struct pwm_chip *chip, struct pwm_device *pwm, 78 int duty_ns, int period_ns) 79{ 80 struct mtk_pwm_chip *pc = to_mtk_pwm_chip(chip); 81 struct clk *clk = pc->clks[MTK_CLK_PWM1 + pwm->hwpwm]; 82 u32 resolution, clkdiv = 0; 83 84 resolution = NSEC_PER_SEC / clk_get_rate(clk); 85 86 while (period_ns / resolution > 8191) { 87 resolution *= 2; 88 clkdiv++; 89 } 90 91 if (clkdiv > 7) 92 return -EINVAL; 93 94 mtk_pwm_writel(pc, pwm->hwpwm, PWMCON, BIT(15) | BIT(3) | clkdiv); 95 mtk_pwm_writel(pc, pwm->hwpwm, PWMDWIDTH, period_ns / resolution); 96 mtk_pwm_writel(pc, pwm->hwpwm, PWMTHRES, duty_ns / resolution); 97 98 return 0; 99} The issue here is that in case _clk_ is null, function clk_get_rate() at line 84 will return zero and a division by zero will occur. So my question here is if there is any chance for _clk_ to be null at line 81, hence ending up triggering a division by zero at line 84?No it can't, in the probe function will error out if one of the seven clocks are not found. for (i = 0; i < MTK_CLK_MAX; i++) { pc->clks[i] = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, mtk_pwm_clk_name[i]); if (IS_ERR(pc->clks[i])) return PTR_ERR(pc->clks[i]); } It registers a pwm chip with five PWMs. When the config function is called one of the five PWMs is identified (with a value from 0-4) which correspondents to the MTK_CLK_PWM[1-5], so no bug here neither.
I get it. Thank you very much for the clarification. -- Gustavo A. R. Silva
