[PATCH kvmtool v2] net: uip: Fix GCC 10 warning about checksum calculation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



GCC 10.1 generates a warning in net/ip/csum.c about exceeding a buffer
limit in a memcpy operation:
------------------
In function 'memcpy',
    inlined from 'uip_csum_udp' at net/uip/csum.c:58:3:
/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/bits/string_fortified.h:34:10: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
   34 |   return __builtin___memcpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos0 (__dest));
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from net/uip/csum.c:1:
net/uip/csum.c: In function 'uip_csum_udp':
include/kvm/uip.h:132:6: note: at offset 0 to object 'sport' with size 2 declared here
  132 |  u16 sport;
------------------

This warning originates from the code taking the address of the "sport"
member, then using that with some pointer arithmetic in a memcpy call.
GCC now sees that the object is only a u16, so copying 12 bytes into it
cannot be any good.
It's somewhat debatable whether this is a legitimate warning, as there
is enough storage at that place, and we knowingly use the struct and
its variabled-sized member at the end.

However we can also rewrite the code, to not abuse the "&" operation of
some *member*, but take the address of the struct itself.
This makes the code less dodgy, and indeed appeases GCC 10.
