Message-ID: <20180423203500.GA36488@beast> Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 13:35:00 -0700 From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org> To: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@...tlin.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, David Woodhouse <dwmw2@...radead.org>, Brian Norris <computersforpeace@...il.com>, Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@...il.com>, Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>, linux-mtd@...ts.infradead.org Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nftl: Remove VLA usage On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1] this changes the check_free_sectors() routine to use the same stack buffer for both data byte checks (SECTORSIZE) and oob byte checks (oobsize). Since these regions aren't needed at the same time, they don't need to be consecutively allocated. Additionally, while it's possible for oobsize to be large, it is unlikely to be larger than the actual SECTORSIZE. As such, remove the VLA, adjust offsets and add a sanity check to make sure we never get a pathological oobsize.
