Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v7 1/2] lib: Fix overflow in backoff polling and timeout multiplication
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 02:58:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810025817.1665141-2-wakel@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810025817.1665141-1-wakel@google.com>

Prevent integer overflow in TST_RETRY_FN_EXP_BACKOFF() when the delay
doubles. By using 'unsigned long long' for delay variables, we ensure
the doubled delay is safely represented without wrapping to 0 (which
causes an infinite loop). The loop will naturally terminate when the
64-bit delay exceeds 'tst_max_delay_' (capped at UINT_MAX).

Also fix potential overflow in tst_multiply_timeout() when the
multiplied timeout exceeds UINT_MAX. Perform the calculation in double
precision and cap the result at UINT_MAX.
