[PATCH 6.6 121/156] net: avoid build bug in skb extension length calculation

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

 



6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d6e5794b06c0fab74fe6e4fa55d508a5ceb14735 upstream.

GCC seems to incorrectly fail to evaluate skb_ext_total_length() at
compile time under certain conditions.

The issue even occurs if all values in skb_ext_type_len[] are "0",
ruling out the possibility of an actual overflow.

As the patch has been in mainline since v6.6 without triggering the
problem it seems to be a very uncommon occurrence.

As the issue only occurs when -fno-tree-loop-im is specified as part of
CFLAGS_GCOV, disable the BUILD_BUG_ON() only when building with coverage
reporting enabled.
