Subject: [PATCH v2] acl: Annotate struct posix_acl with __counted_by()
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:14:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241018121426.155247-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
a_entries to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
Use struct_size() to calculate the number of bytes to allocate for new
and cloned acls and remove the local size variables.
Change the posix_acl_alloc() function parameter count from int to
unsigned int to match posix_acl's a_count data type. Add identifier
names to the function definition to silence two checkpatch warnings.

Changes in v2:
- Update patch to apply cleanly to linux-next. With 8f0a7a2d7bc3
("acl: Realign struct posix_acl to save 8 bytes") in -next, this
patch should not trigger the false-positive buffer overflow anymore
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240923213809.235128-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
