The > comparison is intended to be >= to prevent reading beyond the end of the ps->vlans[] array. It doesn't affect run time though because the ps->vlans[] array has VLAN_N_VID (4096) elements and the vlan->vid cannot be > 4094 because it is checked earlier. Fixes: 98cd1552ea27 ("net: dsa: Mock-up driver") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I'm not 100% sure where this is checked but the other code has comments and assumptions that say that it is and Smatch says that it is. If I had to guess, I would say that the check is in the nla policy. [NL80211_ATTR_VLAN_ID] = NLA_POLICY_RANGE(NLA_U16, 1, VLAN_N_VID - 2), This patch is against linux-next. I could re-write it against net if you want. Another option would be to just delete the sanity check. drivers/net/dsa/dsa_loop.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/dsa/dsa_loop.c b/drivers/net/dsa/dsa_loop.c index 5f69216376fe..8c283f59158b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/dsa/dsa_loop.c +++ b/drivers/net/dsa/dsa_loop.c @@ -207,7 +207,7 @@ static int dsa_loop_port_vlan_add(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, struct mii_bus *bus = ps->bus; struct dsa_loop_vlan *vl; - if (vlan->vid > ARRAY_SIZE(ps->vlans)) + if (vlan->vid >= ARRAY_SIZE(ps->vlans)) return -ERANGE; /* Just do a sleeping operation to make lockdep checks effective */ -- 2.29.2
