It's not clear to me where this coverity report is accessible online. A quick search only brought me to statistics about its latest check, but not the details of the report you quoted. And more importantly: is there coverity CI support that one could enable on github, so that pending patches were checked before upstream merge? > > > Signed-off-by: Christian Schoenebeck <qemu_oss@crudebyte.com> > > --- > > > > tests/qtest/libqos/virtio-9p.c | 6 +++++- > > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/tests/qtest/libqos/virtio-9p.c > > b/tests/qtest/libqos/virtio-9p.c index 6b22fa0e9a..0a7c0ee5d8 100644 > > --- a/tests/qtest/libqos/virtio-9p.c > > +++ b/tests/qtest/libqos/virtio-9p.c > > @@ -48,9 +48,13 @@ static void init_local_test_path(void) > > > > static void create_local_test_dir(void) > > { > > > > struct stat st; > > > > + int res; > > > > g_assert(local_test_path != NULL); > > > > - mkdir(local_test_path, 0777); > > + res = mkdir(local_test_path, 0777); > > + if (res < 0) { > > + /* ignore error, dummy check to prevent error by coverity */ > > Why not printing an error message with errno there like you did in > the previous patch ? Yeah, originally I didn't want to trigger false positives on automated CIs if mkdir() failed just because the directory already exists. But OTOH g_test_message() is just an info-level message, so it is Ok to bark silently and I will add it. > > > + } > > > > /* ensure test directory exists now ... */ > > g_assert(stat(local_test_path, &st) == 0); Thanks!

No, unfortunately not. The Coverity free-for-open-source-projects system has a very limited number of scans it allows (for a project the size of ours just one a day) so we can't open it up to submaintainer branches or even use it on pull requests pre merge; the best we can do is running it on master daily. thanks -- PMM

Coverity wants the return value of mkdir() to be checked, so let's pretend to do that. We're actually just making a dummy check and ignore the result, because we actually only care if the required directory exists and we have an existence check for that in place already.
