[PATCH] mm/memcg: Annotate struct mem_cgroup_threshold_ary with __counted_by
Posted by Kees Cook 2 years, 2 months ago 
Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct mem_cgroup_threshold_ary.

Does 'size' here have to be a member of the same struct as entries? We
have nodeinfo[] in struct mem_cgroup whose size is nr_node_ids which
is global. Will __counted_by() work for that?

Not presently, no. This may come in future expansions of the feature.
We're also hoping to gain expressions for places where a size isn't a
native count, like for big endian, or a byte count that includes the
entire struct, etc. For now, though, the feature is narrowly scoped just
to get the common case landed.
