Subject: [PATCH 6/8] packet, clang-tidy: Packet pool buffers are not NULL
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 20:03:20 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511100322.1016757-7-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511100322.1016757-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
struct pool always needs a non-NULL buf field: it points either to the
actual memory used to store packets, or for vhost-user to the vhost user
memory structure which will contain the packets. We set this pointer
when we initialise the pool. However, clang-tidy (as of 22.1.4, at least)
doesn't realise this in packet_check_range(), causing UB warnings due to
the subtraction of ptr and p->buf.
Clue it in with an assert().
