Hi Heiner, [...] > Instead let's add a simple sanity check on the number of found tags. > A VPD image conforming to the PCI spec can have max. 4 tags: > id string, ro section, rw section, end tag. It's always nice to check if something is compliant with the specification. Would you be able to either cite this part of the official specification or mention where to find it? Like we do in other such changes related to some official standards, mainly for posterity to benefit others that might look at this commit in the future. [...] > + /* We can have max 4 tags: STRING_ID, RO, RW, END */ > + if (++num_tags > 4) > + goto error; Do we want to let someone know that their device (or a device they might have in the system) has non-compliant and/or malformed VPD which is why we decided to return an error? I wonder if this would help with troubleshooting or just simply had some informative value. So perhaps a warning or debug level message? What do you think?
