Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kexec: Annotate umem_info members with __counted_by_ptr
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:02:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730130248.597249-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Add __counted_by_ptr() to umem_info::buf and umem_info::ranges to
improve access bounds checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Set the count fields before assigning the corresponding pointers, return
early on krealloc() failure, and use sizeof(*buf) when deriving
max_entries from the allocation size.
