Subject: [libgpiod][PATCH] core: ignore positive values returned by the GPIO_V2_GET_LINE ioctl()
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2024 11:39:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240124103929.66545-1-brgl@bgdev.pl> (raw)

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

If the kernel GPIO driver (erroneously) returns a positive value from one
of its callbacks, it may end up being propagated to user space as
a positive value returned by the call to ioctl(). Let's treat all
non-zero values as errors as GPIO uAPI ioctl()s are not expected to ever
return positive values. This should be addressed in the kernel but will
remain a problem on older or unpatched versions so we need to sanitize it
in user-space too.
