[PATCH 1/2] efi: Fix for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map() for empty memmaps

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

 



From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 78ce248faa3c ("efi: Iterate over efi.memmap in
for_each_efi_memory_desc()") introduced a regression for systems booted
with 'noefi' kernel option. In particular, I observe early kernel hang in
efi_find_mirror() on for_each_efi_memory_desc() call. As we don't have
efi memmap we enter this iterator with the following parameters:

efi.memmap.map = 0, efi.memmap.map_end = 0, efi.memmap.desc_size = 28

for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map() does the following comparison:

(md) <= (efi_memory_desc_t *)((m)->map_end - (m)->desc_size);

where md = 0, (m)->map_end = 0 and (m)->desc_size = 28 but when we subtract
something from a NULL pointer wrap around happens and we end up returning
invalid pointer.
