In order to cover this case, setting 'maxlen = 0', with the following explanation: EVIOCGKEY is executed from evdev_do_ioctl(), which is called from evdev_ioctl_handler(). evdev_ioctl_handler() is called from 2 functions, where by code coverage, only the first one is in use. ‘compat’ is given the value ‘0’ [1]. Thus, the condition [2] is always false. This means ‘len’ always equals a positive number [3] ‘maxlen’ in evdev_handle_get_val [4] is defined locally in evdev_do_ioctl() [5], and is sent in the variable 'size' [6] [1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/input/evdev.c#L1281 [2] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/input/evdev.c#L705 [3] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/input/evdev.c#L707 [4] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/input/evdev.c#L886 [5] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/input/evdev.c#L1155 [6] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/input/evdev.c#L1141 Signed-off-by: Dana Elfassy <dangel101@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Added following note about the patch's dependency This patch depends on '[v3] selftests/input: Introduce basic tests for evdev ioctls' [1] sent to the ML.
