Hello everybody,

While looking into Coverity ID 1402011 I ran into the following piece of code
at drivers/scsi/qedf/qedf_io.c:2057:

/* Fill FC header */
fc_hdr = &(tm_req->req_fc_hdr);
sid = fcport->sid;
did = fcport->rdata->ids.port_id;
__fc_fill_fc_hdr(fc_hdr, FC_RCTL_DD_UNSOL_CMD, sid, did,
FC_TYPE_FCP, FC_FC_FIRST_SEQ | FC_FC_END_SEQ |
FC_FC_SEQ_INIT, 0);

The issue here is that the position of arguments in the call to
__fc_fill_fc_hdr() function do not match the ordering of the parameters:

_sid_ is passed to _did_
_did_ is passed to _sid_

this is the function prototype:

static inline void __fc_fill_fc_hdr(struct fc_frame_header *fh,
enum fc_rctl r_ctl,
u32 did, u32 sid, enum fc_fh_type type,
u32 f_ctl, u32 parm_offset)

My question here is if this is intentionala?

This may have been but this code has been superseded by commit
be086e7c53f1fac51eed14523b28f2214b548dd2.B


Oh OK, great.

In case it is not, I will send a patch to fix it. But first it would be great
to hear any comment about it.

By the way... the same is happening at drivers/scsi/qedf/qedf_els.c:109

May be a bug here so you could send a patch.


I'll send a patch for this shortly.

Thanks for your comments.
