Subject: [PATCH] iio: adc: ad4030: fix invalid oversampling_ratio validation
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 03:19:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822021935.17058-1-salah.triki@gmail.com> (raw)

ad4030_set_avg_frame_len() computes avg_log2 = ilog2(avg_val) before
validating avg_val, and the subsequent range check only rejects
negative values or values above the maximum supported OSR. It does
not reject avg_val == 0, nor values that are not exact powers of 2.

- avg_val == 0 passes the check (0 is not < 0 and not > max), so
  ilog2(0) is called with an undefined/garbage result.

- Non-power-of-2 values (e.g. avg_val == 3) also pass the check and
  silently get rounded down by ilog2() to the nearest lower power of
  2, so userspace can write a value to the oversampling_ratio sysfs
  attribute that does not match what actually gets programmed into
  hardware, without any error being reported.

Only powers of 2 in [1, 65536] are valid OSR values, as listed in
ad4030_average_modes[]. Validate avg_val fully before computing its
log2, using is_power_of_2() and requiring avg_val > 0.
