Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/RAS/mce_amd_inj: Fix signed wrap around when decrementing index i
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 10:31:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160926083152.30848-2-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160926083152.30848-1-bp@alien8.de>

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Change predecrement compare to post decrement compare to avoid an
unsigned integer wrap-around comparisomn when decrementing in the while
loop.

For example, if the debugfs_create_file() fails when i is zero, the
current situation will predecrement i in the while loop, wrapping i to
the maximum signed integer and cause multiple out of bounds reads on
dfs_fls[i].d as the loop interates to zero.

Also, as Borislav Petkov suggested, return -ENODEV rather than -ENOMEM
on the error condition.
