[PATCH v2 04/24] gve: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc

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

 



Use vmalloc_array and vcalloc to protect against
multiplication overflows.

The changes were done using the following Coccinelle
semantic patch:

// <smpl>
@initialize:ocaml@
@@

let rename alloc =
  match alloc with
    "vmalloc" -> "vmalloc_array"
  | "vzalloc" -> "vcalloc"
  | _ -> failwith "unknown"

    typedef __u8;
    type t = {u8,__u8,char,unsigned char};
    identifier alloc = {vmalloc,vzalloc};
    fresh identifier realloc = script:ocaml(alloc) { rename alloc };

v2: Use vmalloc_array and vcalloc instead of array_size.
This also leaves a multiplication of a constant by a sizeof
as is.  Two patches are thus dropped from the series.
