ida_alloc_max(..., max, ...) returns values from 0 to max, inclusive. So, BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR is a valid value for 'minor'. BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR is '1U << MINORBITS' and we have: #define MKDEV(ma,mi) (((ma) << MINORBITS) | (mi)) So, When this value is used in MKDEV() and it will overflow. Fixes: 3ad20fe393b3 ("binder: implement binderfs") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is completely speculative. The 'BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR_CAPPED - 1' is here only for symmetry with the BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR case. I'm not sure at all that is is needed and, more importantly, that it is correct. --- drivers/android/binderfs.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/android/binderfs.c b/drivers/android/binderfs.c index e3605cdd4335..47df1f381150 100644 --- a/drivers/android/binderfs.c +++ b/drivers/android/binderfs.c @@ -130,8 +130,8 @@ static int binderfs_binder_device_create(struct inode *ref_inode, mutex_lock(&binderfs_minors_mutex); if (++info->device_count <= info->mount_opts.max) minor = ida_alloc_max(&binderfs_minors, - use_reserve ?
