[PATCH v5] monitor/rfcomm: Fix a potential memory access issue for compatibility with LLVM

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

 



From: Miao-chen Chou <mcchou@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch removes "packed" attribute from the definition of struct rfcomm_rpn
to prevent the access to an unaligned struct member in mmc_rpn(). This patch
also introduces a temp variable in mcc_pn() to prevent unaligned access without
touching the definition of struct rfcomm_pn, since struct rfcomm_pn is used as
a PDU.

error messages from LLVM build:

monitor/rfcomm.c:238:36: error: taking address of packed member 'pm' of class
or structure 'rfcomm_rpn' may result in an unaligned pointer value
[-Werror,-Waddress-of-packed-member]
        if (!l2cap_frame_get_le16(frame, &rpn.pm))
monitor/rfcomm.c:287:36: error: taking address of packed member 'mtu' of class
or structure 'rfcomm_pn' may result in an unaligned pointer value
[-Werror,-Waddress-of-packed-member]
        if (!l2cap_frame_get_le16(frame, &pn.mtu))

Currently there is no corresponding flag in GCC to generate the same error
messages. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51628.

v5 adds more details about the error messages.
