Subject: [PATCH 5.15 16/22] vc_screen: dont clobber return value in vcs_read
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2023 19:08:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230301180653.302818589@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230301180652.658125575@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>
commit ae3419fbac845b4d3f3a9fae4cc80c68d82cdf6e upstream.
Commit 226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in
vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop.
While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of
ret = -ENXIO;
This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it
it clobbers the actual value of ret.
To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed.
[ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it
does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial
success has happened - Linus ]
