Why are rules for this single driver so special?... They aren't special at all, so yes, we should be checking for a short read everywhere. That would be the "correct" thing to do, I was just suggesting a "quick fix" here, sorry. Himadri, want to fix up all callers to properly check the size of the message recieved before they access it? That will fix this issue properly. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Linux-kernel-mentees mailing list Linux-kernel-mentees@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-kernel-mentees
