Subject: [PATCH] bus: mhi: host: Add alignment check for event ring read pointer

Though we do check the event ring read pointer by "is_valid_ring_ptr"
to make sure it is in the buffer range, but there is another risk the
pointer may be not aligned. Since we are expecting event ring elements
are 128 bits(struct mhi_tre) aligned, an unaligned read pointer could lead
to multiple issues like DoS or ring buffer memory corruption.

So add a alignment check for event ring read pointer.

"mhi_tre" got renamed to "mhi_ring_element"

Since this is a potential fix, you should add the fixes tag and CC stable.

How about,

!(addr % 16)

We are guaranteed that the ring allocation is 16 byte aligned, right?

I think using "struct mhi_ring_element" instead of "16" would be better.

I'm also thinking that perhaps doing a bit-wise & with a mask would be
better than the % operator. Not only is that how these alignment checks
seem to normally be done elsewhere, but this check is in a critical
patch for the MHI stack.

Yes, both of your suggestions sounds good to me.

Chaitanya, please use below check:

!(addr & (sizeof(struct mhi_ring_element) - 1))
