[v2,1/8] net/pcap: fix argument checks
Checks
Commit Message
Previously rx/tx_queues were passed into eth_from_pcaps_common()
as ptrs and were checked for being NULL.
In commit da6ba28f0540 ("net/pcap: use a struct to pass user options")
that changed to pass in a ptr to a pmd_devargs_all which contains
the rx/tx_queues.
The parameter checking was not updated as part of that commit and
coverity caught that there was still a check if rx/tx_queues were
NULL, apparently after they had been dereferenced.
In fact as they are a members of the devargs_all struct, they will
not be NULL so remove those checks.
1231 struct pmd_devargs *rx_queues = &devargs_all->rx_queues;
1232 struct pmd_devargs *tx_queues = &devargs_all->tx_queues;
1233 const unsigned int nb_rx_queues = rx_queues->num_of_queue;
deref_ptr: Directly dereferencing pointer tx_queues.
1234 const unsigned int nb_tx_queues = tx_queues->num_of_queue;
1235 unsigned int i;

CID 345004: Dereference before null check (REVERSE_INULL)
[select issue]
1238 if (rx_queues == NULL && nb_rx_queues > 0)
1239 return -1;
CID 345029 (#1 of 1): Dereference before null check (REVERSE_INULL)
check_after_deref: Null-checking tx_queues suggests that it may be
null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to
the check.
1240 if (tx_queues == NULL && nb_tx_queues > 0)
1241 return -1;
