question about blkio_get_stat()

Hi Divyesh,

Smatch complains that we go outside the array in blkio_get_stat().

block/blk-cgroup.c
731 if (type == BLKIO_STAT_DEQUEUE)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BLKIO_STAT_DEQUEUE is 9.

732 return blkio_fill_stat(key_str, MAX_KEY_LEN - 1,
733 blkg->stats.dequeue, cb, dev);
734 #endif
735
736 for (sub_type = BLKIO_STAT_READ; sub_type < BLKIO_STAT_TOTAL;
737 sub_type++) {
738 blkio_get_key_name(sub_type, dev, key_str, MAX_KEY_LEN, false);
739 cb->fill(cb, key_str, blkg->stats.stat_arr[type][sub_type]);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This array only has 4 elements and if "type" is 9 we're past the end of
array.

740 }

It's odd that Smatch only started complaining about this now, but this
code has been there for years. I'm puzzled by what changed. Sorry if
there is something obvious I have missed.

regards,
dan carpenter
