Subject: [PATCH 27/44] drivers/tty/vt: use umin() instead of min_t(u16, ...) for row/col limits
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:41:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119224140.8616-28-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119224140.8616-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

The row/column bounds (for a screen window box) are changed from
'offset one' to 'offset zero' and bound to the screen size using:
	v->xs = min_t(u16, v->xs - 1, vc->vc_cols - 1);
This has the side effect of converting zero to the limit.

A check I'm adding to min_t() reports that (u16)(v->xs - 1) (etc)
discards signiticant bits (because v->xs is promoted to 'int' before
the addition).
If v->xs is zero (it comes from userspace) it converts -1 to 0xffff.
This is then bounded to 'vc->vc_cols - 1' which will be fine.

Replace with:
	v->xs = umin(v->xs - 1, vc->vc_cols - 1);
which again converts a -1 to unsigned - this time to 0xffffffff,
with the same overall effect.

Whether zero is meant to mean the 'maximum size' is unknown.
I can't find any documentation for the ioctl and it pre-dates git.

Detected by an extra check added to min_t().
