Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: avoid format string weakness in workqueue interface
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2024 14:21:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241028142152.750650-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Using a string literal as a format string is a possible bug when the
string contains '%' characters:
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2813:48: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security]
2813 | gdev->line_state_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(&gdev->dev),
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2813:48: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this
2813 | gdev->line_state_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(&gdev->dev),
| ^
| "%s",
Do as clang suggests and use a trivial "%s" format string.
Fixes: 7b9b77a8bba9 ("gpiolib: add a per-gpio_device line state notification workqueue")
