Subject: [patch] mtd/docg3: off by one in doc_register_sysfs()
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 13:20:05 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151019102005.GF26688@mwanda> (raw)

Smatch found a bug in the error handling:

	drivers/mtd/devices/docg3.c:1634 doc_register_sysfs()
	error: buffer overflow 'doc_sys_attrs' 4 <= 4

The problem is that if the very last device_create_file() fails, then we
are beyond the end of the array.  Actually, any time i == 3 then there
is a problem.  We can fix this an simplify the code at the same time by
moving the !ret conditions out of the for loops and using a goto
instead.
