Subject: [patch] orangefs: silence harmless integer overflow warning
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 08:04:45 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170121050445.GG15269@mwanda> (raw)
The issue here is that in orangefs_bufmap_alloc() we do:
bufmap->buffer_index_array =
kzalloc(DIV_ROUND_UP(bufmap->desc_count, BITS_PER_LONG), GFP_KERNEL);
If we choose a bufmap->desc_count like -31 then it means the
DIV_ROUND_UP ends up having an integer overflow. The result is that
kzalloc() returns the ZERO_SIZE_PTR and there is a static checker
warning.
But this bug is harmless because on the next lines we use ->desc_count
to do a kcalloc(). That has integer overflow checking built in so the
kcalloc() fails and we return an error code.
Anyway, it doesn't make sense to talk about negative sizes and blocking
them silences the static checker warning.
