[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.13 v3] xen/arm: fix buf size in make_cpus_node
Posted by Stefano Stabellini 6 years, 4 months ago 
The size of buf is calculated wrongly: the number is printed as a
hexadecimal number, so we need 8 bytes for 32bit, not 10 bytes.

As a result, it should be sizeof("cpu@") + 8 bytes for a 32-bit number +
1 byte for \0. Total = 13.

mpidr_aff is 64-bit, however, only bits [0-23] are used. Add a check for
that.

Fixes: c81a791d34 (xen/arm: Set 'reg' of cpu node for dom0 to match MPIDR's affinity)

Changes in v3:
- make sure only [23:0] bits are used in mpidr_aff
- clarify that we only need 32bit for buf writes

Changes in v2:
- patch added

I am not entirely happy with the commit message. There are no real issue with 
the current code (the buffer is big enough) as mpdir_aff can only have [23:0] 
set in the current code.

The patch is only hardening the code and that should be reflected in the commit 
message.

So how about:

xen/arm: domain_build: Harden make_cpus_node()

make_cpus_node() is using a static buffer to generate the FDT node name.

While mpdir_aff is a 64-bit integer, we only ever use the bits [23:0] as only 
AFF{0, 1, 2} are supported for now.

To avoid any potential issue in the future, check that mpdir_aff has only bits 
[23:0] set.

At the same time, take the opportunity to reduce the size of the buffer. Indeed, 
only 8 characters is useful to generate an 32-bit hexadecimal number. So 
sizeof("cpu@") + 8 = 13 characters is sufficient here.

I think you want to update the comment to say "32-bit hexa number".

> -    char buf[15];
> +    char buf[13];

This is a confusing code to read because above you mention this is a 32-bit 
number, but below you are using PRIx64. It takes a bit of time to figure out 
that mpdir_aff will always have bits above 32-bit zeroed.

I would prefer to use a temporary variable for the register, but I would be 
happy to consider a suitable comment in code.

Ok, thanks for providing the commit message. I'll use it.

I'll go with the comment
