[crypto-chtls] Supicious code in chtls_io

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Hi all,

While doing some static analysis I came across the following piece of code at drivers/crypto/chelsio/chtls/chtls_io.c:1203:

1203                 if (!size)
1204                         break;
1205 
1206                 if (unlikely(ULP_SKB_CB(skb)->flags & ULPCB_FLAG_NO_APPEND))
1207                         push_frames_if_head(sk);
1208                 continue;
1209 
1210                 set_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags);
1211         }


The issue is that in the code above, set_bit is never reached due to the 'continue' statement at line 1208.

I wonder if the actual intention of the code was something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/crypto/chelsio/chtls/chtls_io.c b/drivers/crypto/chelsio/chtls/chtls_io.c

                set_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags);
        }


What do you think?

I can send a proper patch for this.

Thanks
