Coverity scan reports multiple false-positive "defects" for the
following series of actions in virtio.c:
MemoryRegionCache indirect_desc_cache;
address_space_cache_init_empty(&indirect_desc_cache);
address_space_cache_destroy(&indirect_desc_cache);
For some reason it's unable to recognize the dependency between 'mrs.mr'
and 'fv' and insists that '!mrs.mr' check in address_space_cache_destroy
may take a 'false' branch, even though it is explicitly initialized to
NULL in the address_space_cache_init_empty():
*** CID 1522371: Memory - illegal accesses (UNINIT)
/qemu/hw/virtio/virtio.c: 1627 in virtqueue_split_pop()
1621 }
1622
1623 vq->inuse++;
1624
1625 trace_virtqueue_pop(vq, elem, elem->in_num, elem->out_num);
1626 done:
>>> CID 1522371: Memory - illegal accesses (UNINIT)
>>> Using uninitialized value "indirect_desc_cache.fv" when
>>> calling "address_space_cache_destroy".
1627 address_space_cache_destroy(&indirect_desc_cache);
1628
1629 return elem;
1630
1631 err_undo_map:
1632 virtqueue_undo_map_desc(out_num, in_num, iov);
** CID 1522370: Memory - illegal accesses (UNINIT)
Instead of trying to silence these false positive reports in 4
different places, initializing 'fv' as well, as this doesn't result
in any noticeable performance impact.
