My knowledge is sketchier than yours. When I was reading this I was thinking that instead of 1040 the upper limit was 32. I got that from hpsa_get_max_perf_mode_cmds(). The only negative number was -1, I think. But either way, we both agree that 48 is probably safe. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
RE: [patch] hpsa: fix an sprintf() overflow in the reset handler
With a size of 48 while it won't overflow since you're using snprintf the
string with a maximum value in %d:
echo -n "cmd 2147483647 RESET FAILED, new lockup detected" |wc -c
48
is 48 characters long without a null terminator on the string (and in the
unlikely event that it's somehow a the largest possible negative value it would
be 49 characters after including the minus sign without a null terminator). If
you always want a complete message no matter what the value formatted as %d
will be I believe it needs to have a length of 50. The worst that will happen
now though because you're using snprintf is you'll drop the trailing "d" or
"ed" in the message with very large positive or negative numbers.
My somewhat sketchy memory of the hpsa driver is that the nr_cmds member of the
struct ctlr_info is never more than 1040 (?) anyway. If things are working
correctly I don't think it should ever happen but I thought I should point out
that msg isn't large enough to contain the complete contents of the longest
possible character string.

there is something called dev_printk_emit() what seems the varg version of
dev_printk()
(what is behind psa_show_dev_msg()) maybe it would be better to redefine the
interface
to use varargs ?
Its up to the maintainer to decide, i do not know how often hpsa_show_dev_msg
is actualy used.
just my 2 cents,
