I don't think kmalloc_array is right because we are not validating an
allocation. I am not sure that any of these overflow macros are correct,
we would probably need something new but I am not sure.

Is kmalloc_array what you're looking for?  Looks like it has the
`check_mul_overflow` call in it.

We may want to change the restriction, yes.

These values are under user control, our validation steps should be
clear and easy to check. If we have the types wrong, if the checks are
wrong, we need to fix them. If the code is removed because it can be
evaluated by the compiler to be redundant, it is much harder for us to
verify that we have tried to validate user input.

My personal preference would be to use a bunch of central macros for the
various type/kmalloc overflows, and have the warnings suppressed there
since they are very much about documenting user input validation.

What do you mean "represent the types used?"  Are you concerned that
the type of drm_i915_gem_exec_object2->relocation_count might change
in the future?

What overflow are you trying to protect against here?

Well leaving a warning unaddressed is also not a solution.  Either
replace it with a comment or turn off the warning for your subdir.

The warning here looks valid to me; you have a guard for something
that's impossible.

[PATCH] drm/i915: Remove tautological compare in eb_relocate_vma

2019-11-25 Thread Nathan Chancellor
-Wtautological-compare was recently added to -Wall in LLVM, which
exposed an if statement in i915 that is always false:

../drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c:1485:22: warning:
result of comparison of constant 576460752303423487 with expression of
type 'unsigned int' is always false
[-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
if (unlikely(remain > N_RELOC(ULONG_MAX)))
^

Since remain is an unsigned int, it can never be larger than UINT_MAX,
which is less than ULONG_MAX / sizeof(struct drm_i915_gem_relocation_entry).
Remove this statement to fix the warning.

NOTE: Another possible fix for this is to change ULONG_MAX to UINT_MAX
  but I am not sure that is what was intended by this check. I'm
  happy to respin if that is the case.

The check should remain as we do want to document the overflow
calculation, and it should represent the types used -- it's much easier
to review a stub than trying to find a missing overflow check. If the
overflow cannot happen as the types are wide enough, no problem, the
compiler can remove the known false branch.

Tautology here has a purpose for conveying information to the reader.
