Subject: [PATCH v4 11/15] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix bound iterators returning too many items
Date: Fri,  8 May 2026 16:32:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508153300.2224715-12-cristian.marussi@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508153300.2224715-1-cristian.marussi@arm.com>

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

When using a bound-iterator with an upper bound, commands are sent, and
responses are received, until the upper bound is reached.  However, it
is up to the SCMI provider implementation to decide how many rates are
returned in response to a single CLOCK_DESCRIBE_RATES command.  If the
last response contains rates beyond the specified upper bound, they are
still passed up for further processing.  This may lead to buffer
overflows in unprepared callsites.

While the imprecise bound handling may have been intentional (it was
mentioned in the commit message introducing the code), it is still
confusing for users, and may cause hard to debug crashes.  Fix this by
strictly enforcing the upper bound.

Note that this may cause an increase in the number of
CLOCK_DESCRIBE_RATES commands issued, as retrieving the last rate may no
longer be done inadvertentently, but require its own command.
