[RFT][PATCH 0/7] Avoid overflow at boundary_size

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

 



We are expending the default DMA segmentation boundary to its
possible maximum value (ULONG_MAX) to indicate that a device
doesn't specify a boundary limit. So all dma_get_seg_boundary
callers should take a precaution with the return values since
it would easily get overflowed.

I scanned the entire kernel tree for all the existing callers
and found that most of callers may get overflowed in two ways:
either "+ 1" or passing it to ALIGN() that does "+ mask".

According to kernel defines:
    #define ALIGN_MASK(x, mask) (((x) + (mask)) & ~(mask))
    #define ALIGN(x, a)	ALIGN_MASK(x, (typeof(x))(a) - 1)

We can simplify the logic here:
  ALIGN(boundary + 1, 1 << shift) >> shift
= ALIGN_MASK(b + 1, (1 << s) - 1) >> s
= {[b + 1 + (1 << s) - 1] & ~[(1 << s) - 1]} >> s
= [b + 1 + (1 << s) - 1] >> s
= [b + (1 << s)] >> s
= (b >> s) + 1

So this series of patches fix the potential overflow with this
overflow-free shortcut.

As I don't think that I have these platforms, marking RFT.

Thanks
Nic
