Subject: [PATCH] scsi: ipr: work around fortify-string warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

The ipr_log_vpd_compact() function triggers a fortified memcpy() warning
about a potential string overflow with all versions of clang:

In file included from drivers/scsi/ipr.c:43:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:254:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
__write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);

include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
2 errors generated.

I don't see anything actually wrong with the function, but this is the
only instance I can reproduce of the fortification going wrong in the
kernel at the moment, so the easiest solution may be to rewrite the
function into something that does not trigger the warning.

Instead of having a combined buffer for vendor/device/serial strings,
use three separate local variables and just truncate the whitespace
individually.

I did not try to bisect which commit introduced this behavior into
the fortified memcpy(), the Fixes: commit is the one that introduced
the ipr_log_vpd_compact() function but this predates the fortified
string helpers.

If i is now the size of the buffer, this is a buffer overflow, no ? And
the initial loop should start at "i - 1" I think...

...but the size is in fact "i + 1"... So in strip_whitespace(), i is the
index of the last possible character in the string, and given that the
string may be much shorter, that function may not actually strip
whitespaces after the string...

So this call should really be:

strip_whitespace(strlen(vendor_id) - 1, vendor_id);

Which means that this helper can be turned into:

static void strip_whitespace(char *buf)
{
int i = strlen(buf) - 1;

while (i > 0 && buf[i] == ' ')
i--;
buf[i+1] = '\0';
}

Unless I am missing something :)

Right, I definitely have the wrong length here.

I think aside from the off-by-one bug I introduced, this is not
a (new) problem as the old code already assumed that the input
is padded with spaces rather than nul-terminated.

The strlen() here requires the input to be a properly terminated string,
so this would at least require adding a \0.

Also, if the input is a short nul-terminated string instead of
a space padded array, we probably don't need to strip the trailing
whitespace, or at least the original version didn't either.

Let me try to respin my patch with just the off-by-one error
fixed but otherwise keeping the output of ipr_log_vpd_compact()
unchanged.

Yeah. The HW probably always give the same amount of chars with short
strings completed by spaces...
