Fix an issue detected by syzbot with KASAN:

BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in acpi_nfit_ctl+0x20e8/0x24a0
drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c:459

The issue occurs in cmd_to_func when the call_pkg->nd_reserved2
array is accessed without verifying that call_pkg points to a buffer
that is appropriately sized as a struct nd_cmd_pkg. This can lead
to out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior if the buffer does not
have sufficient space.

To address this, a check was added in acpi_nfit_ctl() to ensure that
buf is not NULL and that buf_len is greater than sizeof(*call_pkg)
before casting buf to struct nd_cmd_pkg *. This ensures safe access
to the members of call_pkg, including the nd_reserved2 array.

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241111080429.9861-1-surajsonawane0215@xxxxxxxxx/
V2: Initialized `out_obj` to `NULL` in `acpi_nfit_ctl()` to prevent
potential uninitialized variable usage if condition is true.
V3: Changed the condition to if (!buf || buf_len < sizeof(*call_pkg))
and updated the Fixes tag to reference the correct commit.

Looking at the code later, out_obj is always assigned before access. I'm not seeing a path where out_obj would be accessed unitialized...

I initialized out_obj to NULL to prevent potential issues where goto out might access an uninitialized pointer, ensuring ACPI_FREE(out_obj) handles NULL safely in the cleanup section. This covers cases where the condition !buf || buf_len < sizeof(*call_pkg) triggers an early exit, preventing unintended behavior.

Is the casting needed? It wasn't in the old code


I tested the code both with and without the cast using syzbot, and it didn't result in any errors in either case. Since the buffer (buf) is being used as a pointer to struct nd_cmd_pkg, and the casting works in both scenarios, it appears that the cast may not be strictly necessary for this particular case.

I can remove the cast and retain the original code structure, as it does not seem to affect functionality. However, the cast was added for clarity and type safety to ensure that buf is explicitly treated as a struct nd_cmd_pkg *.

Would you prefer to remove the cast, or should I keep it as is for type safety and clarity?

Thank you for your feedback and your time.
