[PATCH] kvm: Fix off by one in kvm_for_each_vcpu iteration

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

 



 This patch avoids gcc issuing the following warning when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1:
 warning: array subscript is above array bounds

 kvm_for_each_vcpu currently checks to see if the index for the vcpu is
 valid /after/ loading it. We don't run into problems because the address
 is still inside the enclosing struct kvm and we never deference or write
 to it, so this isn't a security issue.

 The warning occurs when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1 because the increment portion of
 the loop will *always* cause the loop to load an invalid location since
 ++idx will always be > 0.

 This patch moves the load so that the check occurs before the load and
 we don't run into the compiler warning.
