iio: adc: ad7923: Fix buffer overflow for tx_buf and ring_xfer

[PATCH v2] iio: adc: ad7923: Fix buffer overflow for tx_buf and ring_xfer

Posted by Zicheng Qu 1 year, 3 months ago

The AD7923 was updated to support devices with 8 channels, but the size
of tx_buf and ring_xfer was not increased accordingly, leading to a
potential buffer overflow in ad7923_update_scan_mode().

v2:
- Fixed: Addressed buffer overflow in ad7923_update_scan_mode() due to 
insufficient tx_buf and ring_xfer size for 8-channel devices.
- Issue: Original patch attempted to fix the overflow by limiting the 
length, but did not address the root cause of buffer size mismatch.
- Solution: Increased tx_buf and ring_xfer sizes recommended by Nuno to 
support all 8 channels, ensuring adequate buffer capacity.

Confusing one. I'll fix the authorship up for your analog address

Zicheng, usually a Suggested-by after checking with the author if it's
a patch in a review thread.

You can't really give someone elses' SoB without them explicitly sending it.
If Nuno let you know that was fine off the list, then just mention that under
---

This time I'm going to take Nuno's RB as fine to indicate no objection
to the SoB. Nuno, feel free to shout if you want to handle this differently.

Applied.

Oh, TBH, I did not realized by SOB tag was there. I'm fine with it even though I
agree a Suggested-by would likely make more sense.

Re: [PATCH v2] iio: adc: ad7923: Fix buffer overflow for tx_buf and ring_xfer

Posted by Zicheng Qu 1 year, 3 months ago

Hi Jonathan and Nuno,

Thank you for pointing that out. I included Nuno's name because I think 
the final correct solution came from Nuno, and I wanted to acknowledge 
the contribution. However, I didn't realize I needed to confirm with 
Nuno before adding the sign-off.

In the future, I will ensure to discuss with Nuno or anyone else 
involved to avoid similar issues, or use "suggested by" instead. I 
apologize to Nuno for any confusion this may have caused.

Thanks for the guidance and apologize again.

Best regards,
Zicheng Qu
