Need we to check if @cpu_node does crosses the boundary (@table_end), as what's
doing in acpi_find_processor_node()? Actually, the similar hunk of code from
the function can be reused here.
static struct acpi_pptt_processor *acpi_find_processor_node(struct acpi_table_header *table_hdr,
u32 acpi_cpu_id)
{
:
while ((unsigned long)entry + proc_sz <= table_end) {
cpu_node = (struct acpi_pptt_processor *)entry;
if (entry->length == 0) {
pr_warn("Invalid zero length subtable\n");
break;
}
/* entry->length may not equal proc_sz, revalidate the processor structure length */
if (entry->type == ACPI_PPTT_TYPE_PROCESSOR &&
acpi_cpu_id == cpu_node->acpi_processor_id &&
(unsigned long)entry + entry->length <= table_end &&
entry->length == proc_sz + cpu_node->number_of_priv_resources * sizeof(u32) &&
acpi_pptt_leaf_node(table_hdr, cpu_node)) {
return (struct acpi_pptt_processor *)entry;
}
entry = ACPI_ADD_PTR(struct acpi_subtable_header, entry,
entry->length);
