Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: annotate struct vmbus_gpadl with __counted_by_ptr
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 05:53:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923055320.2602534-1-morbo@google.com> (raw)
Add the "__counted_by_ptr" attribute to the buffer field of "struct
vmbus_gpadl". This allows compilers (GCC and Clang) to perform
compile-time and runtime bounds-checking when KASAN is enabled, preventing
potential out-of-bounds accesses to the GPADL buffer.
The fields "buffer" and "size" of "struct vmbus_gpadl" are assigned
exactly once, during GPADL establishment inside
"__vmbus_establish_gpadl()" in "drivers/hv/channel.c".
To ensure that the count field ("size") is initialized before the
pointer field ("buffer") is assigned, we reorder the assignments in
"__vmbus_establish_gpadl()" so that "gpadl->size" is written before
"gpadl->buffer".
