[PATCH v2] mm/slub: clean up create_unique_id()

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

 



From: Chao Yu <chao.yu@xxxxxxxx>

As Christophe JAILLET suggested:

In create_unique_id(),

"looks that ID_STR_LENGTH could even be reduced to 32 or 16.

The 2nd BUG_ON at the end of the function could certainly be just
removed as well or remplaced by a:
        if (p > name + ID_STR_LENGTH - 1) {
                kfree(name);
                return -E<something>;
        }
"

According to above suggestion, let's do below cleanups:
1. reduce ID_STR_LENGTH to 32, as the buffer size should be enough;
2. use WARN_ON instead of BUG_ON() and return error if check condition
is true;
3. use snprintf instead of sprintf to avoid overflow.

v2:
- add WARN_ON() instead of return error silently;
- use snprintf instead of sprintf to avoid overflow.
