"filename" is a efi_char16_t string so this check for reaching the end of the array doesn't work. We need to cast the pointer to (u8 *) before doing the math. This patch changes the "filename" to "filename_16" to avoid confusion in the future. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Rename "filename" to "filename_16" Also changed cast from (char *) to (u8 *) because it's not a C character string. Ingo suggested (void *) but that's a GCCism I think. diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c index fec216f..0cdfc0d 100644 --- a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c +++ b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c @@ -539,7 +539,7 @@ static efi_status_t handle_ramdisks(efi_loaded_image_t *image, struct initrd *initrd; efi_file_handle_t *h; efi_file_info_t *info; - efi_char16_t filename[256]; + efi_char16_t filename_16[256]; unsigned long info_sz; efi_guid_t info_guid = EFI_FILE_INFO_ID; efi_char16_t *p; @@ -552,14 +552,14 @@ static efi_status_t handle_ramdisks(efi_loaded_image_t *image, str += 7; initrd = &initrds[i]; - p = filename; + p = filename_16; /* Skip any leading slashes */ while (*str == '/' || *str == '\\') str++; while (*str && *str != ' ' && *str != '\n') { - if (p >= filename + sizeof(filename)) + if ((u8 *)p >= (u8 *)filename_16 + sizeof(filename_16)) break; *p++ = *str++; @@ -583,7 +583,7 @@ static efi_status_t handle_ramdisks(efi_loaded_image_t *image, goto free_initrds; } - status = efi_call_phys5(fh->open, fh, &h, filename, + status = efi_call_phys5(fh->open, fh, &h, filename_16, EFI_FILE_MODE_READ, (u64)0); if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) goto close_handles; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
