Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries/energy: validate H_BEST_ENERGY list counts
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 14:09:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407153003.3-powerpc-pseries-energy-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
get_best_energy_list() reads a one-page u32 array from H_BEST_ENERGY and
trusts retbuf[0] as the number of entry pairs stored there. Counts above
the number of pairs that fit in one page make the loop walk past the page
through buf_page[2 * i + 1].
Reject impossible entry counts before indexing the returned buffer.
