Hi,

Static analysis on Linux-next has detected a potential issue with the following commit:

commit 941168f8b40e50518a3bc6ce770a7062a5d99230

virtio_net: support device stats


The issue is in function virtnet_stats_ctx_init, in drivers/net/virtio_net.c as follows:

if (vi->device_stats_cap & VIRTIO_NET_STATS_TYPE_CVQ) {
queue_type = VIRTNET_Q_TYPE_CQ;

ctx->bitmap[queue_type] |= VIRTIO_NET_STATS_TYPE_CVQ;
ctx->desc_num[queue_type] += ARRAY_SIZE(virtnet_stats_cvq_desc);
ctx->size[queue_type] += sizeof(struct virtio_net_stats_cvq);
}


ctx->bitmap is declared as a u32 however it is being bit-wise or'd with VIRTIO_NET_STATS_TYPE_CVQ and this is defined as 1 << 32:

include/uapi/linux/virtio_net.h:#define VIRTIO_NET_STATS_TYPE_CVQ (1ULL << 32)

..and hence the bit-wise or operation won't set any bits in ctx->bitmap because 1ULL < 32 is too wide for a u32. I suspect ctx->bitmap should be declared as u64.
