This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: pm80xx: Fix potential infinite loop to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-pm80xx-fix-potential-infinite-loop.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f760becefa64a4de1d1322d764286c4b8048e056 Author: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 7 14:58:40 2021 +0100 scsi: pm80xx: Fix potential infinite loop [ Upstream commit 40fa7394a1ad5706e795823276f2e394cca145d0 ] The for-loop iterates with a u8 loop counter i and compares this with the loop upper limit of pm8001_ha->max_q_num which is a u32 type. There is a potential infinite loop if pm8001_ha->max_q_num is larger than the u8 loop counter. Fix this by making the loop counter the same type as pm8001_ha->max_q_num. [mkp: this is purely theoretical, max_q_num is currently limited to 64] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210407135840.494747-1-colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: 65df7d1986a1 ("scsi: pm80xx: Fix chip initialization failure") Addresses-Coverity: ("Infinite loop") Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
