Hi Linus,
This is my very first pull-request. I've been working full-time as
a kernel developer for more than two years now. During this time I've
been fixing bugs reported by Coverity all over the tree and, as part
of my work, I'm also contributing to the KSPP. My work in the kernel
community has been supervised by Greg KH and Kees Cook.
OK. So, after the quick introduction above, please, pull the following
patches that mark switch cases where we are expecting to fall through.
These patches are part of the ongoing efforts to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
They have been ignored for a long time (most of them more than 3 months,
even after pinging multiple times), which is the reason why I've created
this tree. Most of them have been baking in linux-next for a whole development
cycle. And with Stephen Rothwell's help, we've had linux-next nag-emails
going out for newly introduced code that triggers -Wimplicit-fallthrough
to avoid gaining more of these cases while we work to remove the ones
that are already present.
I'm happy to let you know that we are getting close to completing this
work. Currently, there are only 32 of 2311 of these cases left to be
addressed in linux-next. I'm auditing every case; I take a look into
the code and analyze it in order to determine if I'm dealing with an
actual bug or a false positive, as explained here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c2fad584-1705-a5f2-d63c-824e9b96cf50@embeddedor.com/
While working on this, I've found and fixed the following missing
break/return bugs, some of them introduced more than 5 years ago:
84242b82d87850b51b6c5e420fe63509186e5034b5be8531817264235ee7cc5034a5d2479826cc865340f23df8df997abeeb2f10d82373307b00c5e65d25ff7a54a7ed5b3e7dc24bfa8f21ad0eaee6199ba8376ce1dc586a60a1a8e9b186f14e57562b4860747828eac5b974bee9cc44ba91162c930e3d0a
Once this work is finish, we'll be able to universally enable
"-Wimplicit-fallthrough" to avoid any of these kinds of bugs from
entering the kernel again.
Thanks
