struct aac_srb_unit contains struct aac_srb, which contains struct sgmap, which ends in a (currently) "fake" (1-element) flexible array. Converting this to a flexible array is needed so that runtime bounds checking won't think the array is fixed size (i.e. under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and/or CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y), as other parts of aacraid use struct sgmap as a flexible array. It is not legal to have a flexible array in the middle of a structure, so it either needs to be split up or rearranged so that it is at the end of the structure. Luckily, struct aac_srb_unit, which is exclusively consumed/updated by aac_send_safw_bmic_cmd(), does not depend on member ordering. The values set in the on-stack struct aac_srb_unit instance "srbu" by the only two callers, aac_issue_safw_bmic_identify() and aac_get_safw_ciss_luns(), do not contain anything in srbu.srb.sgmap.sg, and they both implicitly initialize srbu.srb.sgmap.count to 0 during memset(). For example: memset(&srbu, 0, sizeof(struct aac_srb_unit)); srbcmd = &srbu.srb; srbcmd->flags = cpu_to_le32(SRB_DataIn); srbcmd->cdb[0] = CISS_REPORT_PHYSICAL_LUNS; srbcmd->cdb[1] = 2; /* extended reporting */ srbcmd->cdb[8] = (u8)(datasize >> 8); srbcmd->cdb[9] = (u8)(datasize); rcode = aac_send_safw_bmic_cmd(dev, &srbu, phys_luns, datasize); During aac_send_safw_bmic_cmd(), a separate srb is mapped into DMA, and has srbu.srb copied into it: srb = fib_data(fibptr); memcpy(srb, &srbu->srb, sizeof(struct aac_srb)); Only then is srb.sgmap.count written and srb->sg populated: srb->count = cpu_to_le32(xfer_len); sg64 = (struct sgmap64 *)&srb->sg; sg64->count = cpu_to_le32(1); sg64->sg[0].addr[1] = cpu_to_le32(upper_32_bits(addr)); sg64->sg[0].addr[0] = cpu_to_le32(lower_32_bits(addr)); sg64->sg[0].count = cpu_to_le32(xfer_len); But this is happening in the DMA memory, not in srbu.srb. An attempt to copy the changes back to srbu does happen: /* * Copy the updated data for other dumping or other usage if * needed */ memcpy(&srbu->srb, srb, sizeof(struct aac_srb)); But this was never correct: the sg64 (3 u32s) overlap of srb.sg (2 u32s) always meant that srbu.srb would have held truncated information and any attempt to walk srbu.srb.sg.sg based on the value of srbu.srb.sg.count would result in attempting to parse past the end of srbu.srb.sg.sg[0] into srbu.srb_reply. After getting a reply from hardware, the reply is copied into srbu.srb_reply: srb_reply = (struct aac_srb_reply *)fib_data(fibptr); memcpy(&srbu->srb_reply, srb_reply, sizeof(struct aac_srb_reply)); This has always been fixed-size, so there's no issue here. It is worth noting that the two callers _never check_ srbu contents -- neither srbu.srb nor srbu.srb_reply is examined. (They depend on the mapped xfer_buf instead.) Therefore, the ordering of members in struct aac_srb_unit does not matter, and the flexible array member can moved to the end. (Additionally, the two memcpy()s that update srbu could be entirely removed as they are never consumed, but I left that as-is.)
