Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] lib/vsprintf: Fix to check field_width and precision
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 22:27:41 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <177444526111.185641.13236217811424905684.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <177444525139.185641.12184379647176430297.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Check the field_width and presition correctly. Previously it depends
on the bitfield conversion from int to check out-of-range error.
However, commit 938df695e98d ("vsprintf: associate the format state
with the format pointer") changed those fields to int.
We need to check the out-of-range correctly without bitfield
conversion.

Fixes: 938df695e98d ("vsprintf: associate the format state with the format pointer")
Reported-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260318151250.40fef0ab@pumpkin/

 Changes in v5:
  - Drop negative precision support.
  - The field and precision passed as string literals are also checked.
 Changes in v4:
  - Do clamp() first.
  - Accept negative precision (this means no precision) .
  - Change the warning message for width.
 Changes in v3:
  - Check and update width and precision before assigning to spec.
 Changes in v2:
  - Fix to use logical split.
