Bug #13046
open
i40e_device_find() ASSERTs that num_ports and num_partitions are non-zero, but i40e_parse_discover_capabilities() can return with them being zero
0%
Description
In the function i40e_parse_discover_capabilities(), the i40e_hw elements of num_ports and num_partitions are initialized to zero; such that if the driver fails to discover any active ports, both values will be zero after the function returns. Yet in i40e_device_find, it is ASSRT'd that both values are non-zero; and further tries to use values later that are expected to be non-zero.
Instead, the function should check if either value is non-zero and return a NULL i40e_device_t (callers check to see if the return is NULL, and will fail the configuration).
Suggested code:
/*
* Though remote, it is possible that both ports and partitions
* can be zero. Though it is possible that this is a temporary
* condition, this driver doesn't have a way of being restarted,
* so we fail here and maybe a future attach will be better.
*/
if (hw->num_ports == 0 || hw->num_partitions == 0) {
i40e_error(i40e, "Device doesn't have ports or partitions");
return (NULL);
}

Unfortunately, the i40e_device_find() caller does not accept NULL as return value and would panic at line 1030:
995 idp = i40e_device_find(i40e, parent, bus, device);
996 i40e->i40e_device = idp;
...
1030 for (i = 0; i < idp->id_rsrcs_act; i++) {
1031 i40e_switch_rsrc_t *srp = &i40e->i40e_switch_rsrcs[i];

The suggested fix above is incomplete. The original prototype also added checking the NULL return from i40e_device_find() in i40e_get_available_resources(), and if it is NULL, return. It is from there that the proper thing will happen.
