Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8822be: check kzalloc return or bail

The kzalloc() in halmac_parse_psd_data_88xx() can fail and return NULL
so check the psd_set->data after allocation and if allocation failed
return HALMAC_CMD_PROCESS_ERROR.

Problem was located with an experimental coccinelle script

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + STAGING=y,
R8822BE=m
(with a smatch error that looks like a false-positive

as the initialization of pg_efuse_header2 is under the same if condition (line 592) as the

Patch is agaisnt 5.0-rc6 (localversion-next is next-20190215)

Hm... That's tricky code for Smatch to parse.

drivers/staging/rtlwifi/halmac/halmac_88xx/halmac_func_88xx.c
592 if (offset > 0x7f) {
593 pg_efuse_header =
594 (((pg_block & 0x07) << 5) & 0xE0) | 0x0F;
595 pg_efuse_header2 =
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pg_efuse_header2 is only intialized on this path.

596 (u8)(((pg_block & 0x78) << 1) +
597 ((0x1 << pg_block_index) ^ 0x0F));
598 } else {
599 pg_efuse_header =
600 (u8)((pg_block << 4) +
601 ((0x01 << pg_block_index) ^ 0x0F));
602 }
603
604 if ((offset & 1) == 0) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But this condition confuses Smatch. Smatch marks it as saying that
offset is non-zero on this size.

605 pg_efuse_byte1 = value;
606 pg_efuse_byte2 = *(eeprom_map + offset + 1);
607 } else {

And this side offset = 0-0x7e.

608 pg_efuse_byte1 = *(eeprom_map + offset - 1);
609 pg_efuse_byte2 = value;
610 }
611
612 if (offset > 0x7f) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So it doesn't parse this condition correctly.

613 pg_efuse_num = 4;
614 if (halmac_adapter->hw_config_info.efuse_size <=
615 (pg_efuse_num + HALMAC_PROTECTED_EFUSE_SIZE_88XX +
616 halmac_adapter->efuse_end)) {
617 kfree(eeprom_map);
618 return HALMAC_RET_EFUSE_NOT_ENOUGH;
619 }
620 halmac_func_write_efuse_88xx(halmac_adapter, efuse_end,
621 pg_efuse_header);
622 halmac_func_write_efuse_88xx(halmac_adapter,
623 efuse_end + 1,
624 pg_efuse_header2);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And it warns here.

625 halmac_func_write_efuse_88xx(
626 halmac_adapter, efuse_end + 2, pg_efuse_byte1);
627 status = halmac_func_write_efuse_88xx(
628 halmac_adapter, efuse_end + 3, pg_efuse_byte2);


It should be possible to fix this false positive... It's just a matter
of doing the work.
