[PATCH] net: asix: fix uninit value in asix_mdio_read

Syzbot reported uninit-value in asix_mdio_read(). The problem was in
missing error handling. asix_read_cmd() should initialize passed stack
variable smsr, but it can fail in some cases. Then while condidition
checks possibly uninit smsr variable.

Since smsr is uninitialized stack variable, driver can misbehave,
because smsr will be random in case of asix_read_cmd() failure.
Fix it by adding error cheking and just continue the loop instead of
checking uninit value.

Fixes: 8a46f665833a ("net: asix: Avoid looping when the device is disconnected")

Humm.

If ret < 0 is true, smsr is uninitialized? The continue statement
causes a jump into the condition expression, where we evaluate smsr &
AX_HOST_EN. Isn't this just as broken as the original version?

Yes, you are right, I missed that, sorry. I will rewrote this loop into 
for loop in v2.

Im wondering why this wrong patch passed KMSAN testing...

Changes in v2:
	1. Fixed previous wrong approach and changed while loop to for loop
	2. Reported-and-tested-by: tag removed, since KMSAN tests can be
	   false positive. Used Reported-by instead.

This is not the right tag, the Fixes tag should point to the commit
where the problem is introduced. Robert/Vincent only added some error
checking, the issue was there before, right?

Once you locate the right starting point for the fix please make sure
to add the author to CC.

Thanks!

Code LGTM, do other functions which Robert/Vincent touched not need the
same treatment tho?

Yes, this looks good. And Jakub is correct, there are 3 other bits of
similar code you should look at.

Which suggests it might make sense to refactor the code to make a

The code does looks correct now.

I noticed strange thing. For example: driver looped 30 times, there 
wasn't any errors with usb transfer, but Host_En bit is not set. 
Datasheet says, that if Host_En is not set, that means software access 
will be ignored. Driver code doesn't handle this situation. We only 
check if ret is -ENODEV or -ETIMEOUT.

I guess, next register access will fail, but anyway, does it make sense 
to return when Host_En bit is not set?

Added helper function for checking Host_En bit, since wrong loop was used
in 4 functions and there is no need in copy-pasting code parts.

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (refs/heads/master):

On Tue, 17 Aug 2021 19:37:23 +0300 you wrote:

Syzbot reported uninit-value in asix_mdio_read(). The problem was in
missing error handling. asix_read_cmd() should initialize passed stack
variable smsr, but it can fail in some cases. Then while condidition
checks possibly uninit smsr variable.

Since smsr is uninitialized stack variable, driver can misbehave,
because smsr will be random in case of asix_read_cmd() failure.
Fix it by adding error handling and just continue the loop instead of
checking uninit value.

You are awesome, thank you!
