Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: adc: ad4030: fix invalid oversampling_ratio validation
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 05:52:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823045205.25554-1-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.
This issue was identified with assistance from Claude AI and manually
verified against the code.

Changes since v1:
- Added note stating the issue was identified with assistance from
Claude AI and verified manually.
- Removed initialization of avg_log2 at declaration.
