[PATCH v3 1/2] HID: u2fzero: clarify error check and length calculations

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

 



The previous commit fixed handling of incomplete packets but broke error
handling: offsetof returns an unsigned value (size_t), but when compared
against the signed return value, the return value is interpreted as if
it were unsigned, so negative return values are never less than the
offset.

To make the code easier to read, calculate the minimal packet length
once and separately, and assign it to a signed int variable to eliminate
unsigned math and the need for type casts. It then becomes immediately
obvious how the actual data length is calculated and why the return
value cannot be less than the minimal length.

Fixes: 22d65765f211 ("HID: u2fzero: ignore incomplete packets without data")
Fixes: 42337b9d4d95 ("HID: add driver for U2F Zero built-in LED and RNG")
