Otherwise do not use it as the compiler and cpu do a better job than we do in figuring this out. > + return -ENODEV; > + > + co->index = array_index_nospec(co->index, ATMEL_MAX_UART); How exactl is index controlled by userspace such that a spectre gadget can be used here? You have to be able to call this multiple times in a row, unsuccessfully and successfully, how does that happen through the console api? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
