Hello Claudio Lanconelli, The patch 3ec9c11da033: "add driver for enc28j60 ethernet chip" from Jan 14, 2008, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/enc28j60.c:107 spi_read_buf() error: __memcpy() '&rx_buf[1]' too small (1517 vs 1518) drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/enc28j60.c 87 static int 88 spi_read_buf(struct enc28j60_net *priv, int len, u8 *data) 89 { 90 u8 *rx_buf = priv->spi_transfer_buf + 4; 91 u8 *tx_buf = priv->spi_transfer_buf; 92 struct spi_transfer t = { 93 .tx_buf = tx_buf, 94 .rx_buf = rx_buf, 95 .len = SPI_OPLEN + len, 96 }; 97 struct spi_message msg; 98 int ret; 99 100 tx_buf[0] = ENC28J60_READ_BUF_MEM; 101 tx_buf[1] = tx_buf[2] = tx_buf[3] = 0; /* don't care */ 102 103 spi_message_init(&msg); 104 spi_message_add_tail(&t, &msg); 105 ret = spi_sync(priv->spi, &msg); 106 if (ret == 0) { 107 memcpy(data, &rx_buf[SPI_OPLEN], len); The problem here is that len is sizeof(data) and sizeof(rx_buf), but we are copying from the SPI_OPLEN (1) byte offset so we're copying beyond the end of the array. It's not clear what the correct thing to do is. 108 ret = msg.status; 109 } 110 if (ret && netif_msg_drv(priv)) 111 printk(KERN_DEBUG DRV_NAME ": %s() failed: ret = %d\n", 112 __func__, ret); 113 114 return ret; 115 } regards, dan carpenter -- 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
