Doing allocations in the declaration block is rare in the kernel but it accounts for around a quarter of the missing NULL checks and many memory leaks in the kbuild zero day bot testing. It's a bad idea and some subsystems ban the practice, but Greg is fine with it so I'm not going to complain. This is me keeping totally silent like a mouse. :P > > if (!tmp) > return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); > > - len = strncpy_from_user(tmp, filename, PATH_MAX); > - if (len == 0) > + len = strncpy_from_user(tmp, filename, NAME_MAX); > + if (len < 0) > + ret = len; > + else if (len == 0) > ret = -ENOENT; > - else if (len > PATH_MAX) > - ret = -ENAMETOOLONG; I don't like how this does silent truncation. strncpy_from_user() return -EFAULT if we run into unmapped memory. Otherwise if the user supplies a too long name it returns len == PATH_MAX. (I think, the documentation for this function is hard to understand). Of course, the check was never true in the original code... regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
