The 'get_burstcount' function can in some circumstances 'return -EBUSY' which in tpm_stm_i2c_send is stored in an 'u32 burstcnt' thus converting the signed value into an unsigned value, resulting in 'burstcnt' being huge. Changing the type to u32 only does not solve the problem as the signed value is converted to an unsigned in I2C_WRITE_DATA, resulting in the same effect. Thus -> Change type of burstcnt to u32 (the return type of get_burstcount) -> Add a check for the return value of 'get_burstcount' and propagate a potential error. This makes also sense in the 'I2C_READ_DATA' case, where the there is no signed/unsigned conversion. found by coverity Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_stm_st33.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_stm_st33.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_stm_st33.c @@ -410,6 +410,8 @@ static int recv_data(struct tpm_chip *ch &chip->vendor.read_queue) == 0) { burstcnt = get_burstcount(chip); + if (burstcnt < 0) + return burstcnt; len = min_t(int, burstcnt, count - size); I2C_READ_DATA(client, TPM_DATA_FIFO, buf + size, len); size += len; @@ -451,7 +453,8 @@ static irqreturn_t tpm_ioserirq_handler( static int tpm_stm_i2c_send(struct tpm_chip *chip, unsigned char *buf, size_t len) { - u32 status, burstcnt = 0, i, size; + u32 status, i, size; + int burstcnt = 0; int ret; u8 data; struct i2c_client *client; @@ -482,6 +485,8 @@ static int tpm_stm_i2c_send(struct tpm_c for (i = 0; i < len - 1;) { burstcnt = get_burstcount(chip); + if (burstcnt < 0) + return burstcnt; size = min_t(int, len - i - 1, burstcnt); ret = I2C_WRITE_DATA(client, TPM_DATA_FIFO, buf, size); if (ret < 0) Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from PeterHuewe@xxxxxx are queue-3.10/tpm-tpm_i2c_stm_st33-check-return-code-of-get_burstcount.patch queue-3.10/tpm-tpm_ppi-do-not-compare-strcmp-a-b-1.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
