This is now true only for the model string, not the vendor string. And even for the model string, you allow the lengths to differ in only one direction (the model string can be longer than the devinfo model string, but not vice versa). > And we should take card when matching with zero size strings; > results might be unpredictable. > With this patch the rules for matching devinfo strings are > as follows: > - Vendor strings must match exactly > - Empty Model strings will only match if the devinfo model > is also empty > - Model strings shorter than the devinfo model string will > not match Good, this is a lot better than before. These rules make sense. However, the rules and the code are both somewhat redundant. For example, the second rule above is already a consequence of the third rule: If the model string is empty and the devinfo model string isn't, then the model string is shorter than the devinfo model string so they won't match. > Fixes: 5e7ff2c ("SCSI: fix new bug in scsi_dev_info_list string matching") > Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- > 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c > index 776c701..f8f5cb7 100644 > --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c > +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c > @@ -399,8 +399,8 @@ int scsi_dev_info_list_add_keyed(int compatible, char *vendor, char *model, > > /** > * scsi_dev_info_list_find - find a matching dev_info list entry. > - * @vendor: vendor string > - * @model: model (product) string > + * @vendor: full vendor string > + * @model: full model (product) string > * @key: specify list to use > * > * Description: > @@ -440,6 +440,8 @@ static struct scsi_dev_info_list *scsi_dev_info_list_find(const char *vendor, > /* Also skip trailing spaces */ > while (vmax > 0 && vskip[vmax - 1] == ' ') > --vmax; > + if (!vmax) > + vskip = NULL; > > mmax = sizeof(devinfo->model); > mskip = model; > @@ -449,27 +451,45 @@ static struct scsi_dev_info_list *scsi_dev_info_list_find(const char *vendor, > } > while (mmax > 0 && mskip[mmax - 1] == ' ') > --mmax; > + if (!mmax) > + mskip = NULL; Neither of these changes is needed. > > list_for_each_entry(devinfo, &devinfo_table->scsi_dev_info_list, > dev_info_list) { > if (devinfo->compatible) { > /* > - * Behave like the older version of get_device_flags. > + * vendor strings must be an exact match > */ > - if (memcmp(devinfo->vendor, vskip, vmax) || > - (vmax < sizeof(devinfo->vendor) && > - devinfo->vendor[vmax])) > + if (vmax != strlen(devinfo->vendor)) > continue; > - if (memcmp(devinfo->model, mskip, mmax) || > - (mmax < sizeof(devinfo->model) && > - devinfo->model[mmax])) > + if (vskip && vmax && > + memcmp(devinfo->vendor, vskip, vmax)) > continue; There's no need to test vskip and vmax. The memcmp test alone is sufficient, since you know the lengths are equal and you are looking for an exact match. So in the end, you could just do this: if (vmax != strlen(devinfo->vendor) || memcmp(devinfo->vendor, vskip, vmax)) continue; > - return devinfo; > + /* > + * Empty model strings only match if both strings > + * are empty. > + */ > + if (!mmax && !strlen(devinfo->model)) > + return devinfo; As mentioned above, this is not necessary. > + > + /* > + * Empty @model never matches > + */ > + if (!mskip) > + continue; Nor is this. > + > + /* > + * @model specifies the full string, and > + * must be larger or equal to devinfo->model > + */ > + if (!memcmp(devinfo->model, mskip, > + strlen(devinfo->model))) > + return devinfo; It would be safer to do it this way: n = strlen(devinfo->model); if (mmax < n || memcmp(devinfo->model, mskip, n)) continue; return devinfo; Otherwise you run the risk of comparing part of the devinfo model string to bytes beyond the end of the model string.
