In qlaxxx/qla_os.c, the copy_mem_info function can cause proc_file_read to produce an "Apparent buffer overflow" error.
For illistration, lets assume we enter with info->offset = 0 info->len = PAGE_SIZE (16384 on ia64 where I am seeing this) info->pos = 0 We pass in a data buffer that is 16386 bytes long. As a result, the first len check in copy_mem_info will restrict len to 16384. At the end of copy, info->buffer += len will point info->buffer at the first byte of the next page. When the qla2x00_proc_info read function returns to proc_file_read it will check start >= page + PAGE_SIZE in the else case on fs/proc/generic.c line 158, and produce a warning. I am not sure what the correct fix is for this. Any guidance would be appreciated.
