[PATCH] nfc: nci: assert requested protocol is valid
Posted by Jeremy Cline 2 years, 3 months ago 
The protocol is used in a bit mask to determine if the protocol is
supported. Assert the provided protocol is less than the maximum
defined so it doesn't potentially perform a shift-out-of-bounds and
provide a clearer error for undefined protocols vs unsupported ones.

Hi Jeremy,

As a bug fix, with a Fixes tag, I'm assuming that this targets 'net'.
As opposed to 'net-next'.

There is probably no need to repost for this, but in future please
bear in mind the practice of specifying the target tree in
the subject of Networking patches.

   Subject: [PATCH net] ...

Also, please include addresses indicated by the following in the CC list.

   get_maintainer.pl --min-percent 25 x.patch

The above notwithstanding, this looks good to me.

Yeah, that's fine, whatever the maintainers think is best works for me.
I'm an infrequent contributor, at best.

I'll try to keep that in mind if I send other Networking patches.

Likewise I'll try to remember this particular version if I send any more
network patches.

This looks OK, but I wonder if protocol 0 (so BIT(0) in the
supported_protocols) is a valid protocol. I looked at the code and it
was nowhere handled.

Original patch from Hilf Danton was also handling it (I wonder why Hilf
did not send his patch...)

I did notice that the protocols started at 1, but I was not particularly confident in adding a check for 0 since I was concerned I might miss a subtle existing case of 0 being used somewhere, or that some time in the future a protocol 0 would be added (which seems weird, but weird things happen I suppose). If it is added in the future and there's a check here marking it invalid explicitly, it will trip up the developer briefly.

Since the next check in this function should still reject 0 with an -EINVAL the only downside to not checking is the different error message.

I personally lean towards letting the second check catch the 0 case, but as I'm not likely to be the person who has to deal with any of the downsides, I'm happy to do whatever you think is best.

Thanks,
Jeremy
