The current codebase makes use of one-element arrays in the following form:
struct something { int length; u8 data[1]; }; struct something *instance; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(*instance) + size, GFP_KERNEL); instance->length = size; memcpy(instance->data, source, size); but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. So, replace the one-element array with a flexible-array member. Also, make use of the offsetof() helper in order to simplify some macros and properly calculate the size of the structures that contain flexible-array members. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and, audited _manually_.

Silva <gustavo...@kernel.org> --- Changes in v3: - We still can simply the code even more by using offsetof() just once. :) Changes in v2: - Use offsetof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem, pdata) instead of sizeof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem) - sizeof(((struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem *)0)->pdata) - Update changelog text. .../net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_adminq_cmd.h | 6 ++--- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c | 23 ++++++------------- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_adminq_cmd.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_adminq_cmd.h index 586d69491268a..faa21830e40d8 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_adminq_cmd.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_adminq_cmd.h @@ -570,7 +570,7 @@ struct ice_sw_rule_lkup_rx_tx { * lookup-type */ __le16 hdr_len; - u8 hdr[1]; + u8 hdr[]; } __packed; /* Add/Update/Remove large action command/response entry @@ -580,7 +580,7 @@ struct ice_sw_rule_lkup_rx_tx { struct ice_sw_rule_lg_act { __le16 index; /* Index in large action table */ __le16 size; - __le32 act[1]; /* array of size for actions */ + __le32 act[]; /* array of size for actions */ /* Max number of large actions */ #define ICE_MAX_LG_ACT 4 /* Bit 0:1 - Action type */ @@ -640,7 +640,7 @@ struct ice_sw_rule_lg_act { struct ice_sw_rule_vsi_list { __le16 index; /* Index of VSI/Prune list */ __le16 number_vsi; - __le16 vsi[1]; /* Array of number_vsi VSI numbers */ + __le16 vsi[]; /* Array of number_vsi VSI numbers */ }; /* Query VSI list command/response entry */ diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c index 0156b73df1b1f..191735ac491c6 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c @@ -29,25 +29,16 @@ static const u8 dummy_eth_header[DUMMY_ETH_HDR_LEN] = { 0x2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x81, 0, 0, 0}; #define ICE_SW_RULE_RX_TX_ETH_HDR_SIZE \ - (sizeof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem) - \ - sizeof(((struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem *)0)->pdata) + \ - sizeof(struct ice_sw_rule_lkup_rx_tx) + DUMMY_ETH_HDR_LEN - 1) + (offsetof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem, pdata.lkup_tx_rx) + \ + DUMMY_ETH_HDR_LEN) #define ICE_SW_RULE_RX_TX_NO_HDR_SIZE \ - (sizeof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem) - \ - sizeof(((struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem *)0)->pdata) + \ - sizeof(struct ice_sw_rule_lkup_rx_tx) - 1) + (offsetof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem, pdata.lkup_tx_rx)) #define ICE_SW_RULE_LG_ACT_SIZE(n) \ - (sizeof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem) - \ - sizeof(((struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem *)0)->pdata) + \ - sizeof(struct ice_sw_rule_lg_act) - \ - sizeof(((struct ice_sw_rule_lg_act *)0)->act) + \ - ((n) * sizeof(((struct ice_sw_rule_lg_act *)0)->act))) + (offsetof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem, pdata.lg_act.act) + \ + ((n) * sizeof(__le32))) #define ICE_SW_RULE_VSI_LIST_SIZE(n) \ - (sizeof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem) - \ - sizeof(((struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem *)0)->pdata) + \ - sizeof(struct ice_sw_rule_vsi_list) - \ - sizeof(((struct ice_sw_rule_vsi_list *)0)->vsi) + \ - ((n) * sizeof(((struct ice_sw_rule_vsi_list *)0)->vsi))) + (offsetof(struct ice_aqc_sw_rules_elem, pdata.vsi_list.vsi) + \ + ((n) * sizeof(__le16))) /** * ice_init_def_sw_recp - initialize the recipe book keeping tables -- 2.26.2
