Hello Matthew Dharm, This is an old warning but it looks like it might be valid. The patch 34008dbfe8c0: "[PATCH] USB Storage: add support for Maxtor One-Touch button" from Jul 28, 2005, leads to the following Smatch warning: "drivers/usb/storage/onetouch.c:248 onetouch_connect_input() error: usb_fill_int_urb() 'onetouch->data' too small (2 vs 9)" [ This requires some database configuration to get this warning ]. drivers/usb/storage/onetouch.c 197 maxp = usb_maxpacket(udev, pipe, usb_pipeout(pipe)); ^^^^ maxp depends on the end point. 198 199 onetouch = kzalloc(sizeof(struct usb_onetouch), GFP_KERNEL); 200 input_dev = input_allocate_device(); 201 if (!onetouch || !input_dev) 202 goto fail1; 203 204 onetouch->data = usb_alloc_coherent(udev, ONETOUCH_PKT_LEN, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ONETOUCH_PKT_LEN is 0x02 so we are ->data is 2 bytes. 205 GFP_KERNEL, &onetouch->data_dma); 206 if (!onetouch->data) 207 goto fail1; 208 [ snip ]. 245 input_dev->open = usb_onetouch_open; 246 input_dev->close = usb_onetouch_close; 247 248 usb_fill_int_urb(onetouch->irq, udev, pipe, onetouch->data, 249 (maxp > 8 ? 8 : maxp), ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If we use 8 as the transfer size and ->data is only 2 bytes then it could corrupt memory. (Smatch incorrectly thinks this parameter can be 9, but even 8 would be too high). 250 usb_onetouch_irq, onetouch, endpoint->bInterval); 251 onetouch->irq->transfer_dma = onetouch->data_dma; 252 onetouch->irq->transfer_flags |= URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP; 253 regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
