Subject: re: staging: iio: accel: Use __be16 instead of u16
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:36:51 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150715193650.GA28245@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Aybuke Ozdemir,
The patch 03c6eaa37ad7: "staging: iio: accel: Use __be16 instead of
u16" from Sep 28, 2014, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/staging/iio/accel/sca3000_ring.c:120 sca3000_read_first_n_hw_rb()
warn: potential pointer math issue ('rx' is a 16 bit pointer)
drivers/staging/iio/accel/sca3000_ring.c
107 */
108 if (count > num_available * bytes_per_sample)
109 num_read = num_available*bytes_per_sample;
110 else
111 num_read = count;
112
113 ret = sca3000_read_data(st,
114 SCA3000_REG_ADDR_RING_OUT,
115 &rx, num_read);
116 if (ret)
117 goto error_ret;
118
119 for (i = 0; i < num_read; i++)
120 *(((u16 *)rx) + i) = be16_to_cpup((__be16 *)rx + i);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We're writing beyond the end of the array here because of the pointer
math issue. The fix is probably to say:
for (i = 0; i < num_read / sizeof(u16); i++)
*(((u16 *)rx) + i) = be16_to_cpup((__be16 *)rx + i);
121
122 if (copy_to_user(buf, rx, num_read))
123 ret = -EFAULT;
regards,
dan carpenter
