In 'st_nci_i2c_read()', we allocate a sk_buff with a size of ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE + len.
However, later on, we first 'skb_reserve()' ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE bytes, then we 'skb_put()' ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE bytes. Finally, if 'len' is not 0, we 'skb_put()' 'len' bytes. So we use ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE*2 + len bytes. This is incorrect and should already panic. I guess that it does not occur because of extra memory allocated because of some rounding. Fix it and allocate enough room for the 'skb_reserve()' and the 'skb_put()' calls. Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jail...@wanadoo.fr> --- This patch is LIKELY INCORRECT. So think twice to what is the correct solution before applying it. Maybe the skb_reserve should be axed or some other sizes are incorrect. There seems to be an issue, that's all I can say. --- drivers/nfc/st-nci/i2c.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/nfc/st-nci/i2c.c b/drivers/nfc/st-nci/i2c.c index 55d600cd3861..12e0425131c8 100644 --- a/drivers/nfc/st-nci/i2c.c +++ b/drivers/nfc/st-nci/i2c.c @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ static int st_nci_i2c_read(struct st_nci_i2c_phy *phy, return -EBADMSG; } - *skb = alloc_skb(ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE + len, GFP_KERNEL); + *skb = alloc_skb(ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE * 2 + len, GFP_KERNEL); if (*skb == NULL) return -ENOMEM; -- 2.20.1
