Hello Philipp Zabel, The patch 96f6f62c4656: "media: coda: jpeg: add CODA960 JPEG encoder support" from Dec 12, 2019, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/media/platform/chips-media/coda-jpeg.c:622 coda9_jpeg_gen_enc_huff_tab() warn: check that incremented offset 'k' is capped drivers/media/platform/chips-media/coda-jpeg.c 583 static int coda9_jpeg_gen_enc_huff_tab(struct coda_ctx *ctx, int tab_num, 584 int *ehufsi, int *ehufco) 585 { 586 int i, j, k, lastk, si, code, maxsymbol; 587 const u8 *bits, *huffval; 588 struct { 589 int size[256]; 590 int code[256]; 591 } *huff; 592 static const unsigned char *huff_tabs[4] = { 593 luma_dc, luma_ac, chroma_dc, chroma_ac, 594 }; 595 int ret = -EINVAL; 596 597 huff = kzalloc(sizeof(*huff), GFP_KERNEL); 598 if (!huff) 599 return -ENOMEM; 600 601 bits = huff_tabs[tab_num]; 602 huffval = huff_tabs[tab_num] + 16; 603 604 maxsymbol = tab_num & 1 ? 256 : 16; 605 606 /* Figure C.1 - Generation of table of Huffman code sizes */ 607 k = 0; 608 for (i = 1; i <= 16; i++) { 609 j = bits[i - 1]; 610 if (k + j > maxsymbol) 611 goto out; 612 while (j--) 613 huff->size[k++] = i; 614 } 615 lastk = k; 616 617 /* Figure C.2 - Generation of table of Huffman codes */ 618 k = 0; 619 code = 0; 620 si = huff->size[0]; 621 while (k < lastk) { ^^^^^^^^^ Here we know that k is valid. --> 622 while (huff->size[k] == si) { 623 huff->code[k++] = code; But this loop iterates through k without checking if k is still valid. How do we know that the huff->size[k] check won't read beyond the end of the loop? Presumably it won't go far beyond the end before it hits something which is != si. 624 code++; 625 } 626 if (code >= (1 << si)) 627 goto out; 628 code <<= 1; 629 si++; 630 } 631 632 /* Figure C.3 - Ordering procedure for encoding procedure code tables */ 633 for (k = 0; k < lastk; k++) { 634 i = huffval[k]; 635 if (i >= maxsymbol || ehufsi[i]) 636 goto out; 637 ehufco[i] = huff->code[k]; 638 ehufsi[i] = huff->size[k]; 639 } 640 641 ret = 0; 642 out: 643 kfree(huff); 644 return ret; 645 } regards, dan carpenter
