Re: [PATCH 4/5] perf dso: Guard against cache underflow on short reads in dso_cache__memcpy()

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

> dso_cache__memcpy() computes cache_offset = offset - cache->offset,
> then cache_size = min(cache->size - cache_offset, size).  The RB tree
> lookup in __dso_cache__find() matches using the full
> DSO__DATA_CACHE_SIZE window, but cache->size reflects the actual pread
> return value from dso_cache__populate().

> A short pread (e.g. near end-of-file) makes cache->size smaller than

> window, the cache entry is found but cache_offset exceeds cache->size.
