spi: Fix invalid sgs value (2022-03-08 12:27:33 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
spi: Fix for v5.17

One fix for type conversion issues when working out maximum
scatter/gather segment sizes which caused problems for some systems
which where the limits overflow due to the type conversion.

.. but it really would.

Note that the paths *after* this code don't matter. Because the result
is guaranteed to fit in 'unsigned int' anyway.

Put another way:

min_t(unsigned int,x,y)

is buggy if one of x/y is 'size_t'. Why? Because if that one gets
truncated, you're doing 'min()' with a value that may be artificially
much too small (that was exactly the problem commit 1a4e53d2fc4f:
"spi: Fix invalid sgs value")fixed).

But the situation is _not_ true in the reverse. Look:

min(size_t,x,y)

is guaranteed to fit in 'unsigned int' as long as _one_ of x,y fits in
'unsigned int' - even if the other doesn't. Because then 'min()' will
just pick the one that already had the right size.

To make it really concrete, compare

min_t(unsigned int, 5, 0x100000001);
min_t(size_t, 5, 0x100000001);

on a 64-bit machine (ie size_t is 64-bits, and unsigned int is 32-bit).

One returns 1. The other returns 5. Both fit the result in 'unsigned
int', but one of them is wrong.

You're absolutely right. So the code should be changed to:

if (vmalloced_buf || kmap_buf) {
- desc_len = min_t(unsigned int, max_seg_size, PAGE_SIZE);
+ desc_len = min_t(unsigned long, max_seg_size, PAGE_SIZE);
sgs = DIV_ROUND_UP(len + offset_in_page(buf), desc_len);
} else if (virt_addr_valid(buf)) {
- desc_len = min_t(unsigned int, max_seg_size, ctlr->max_dma_len);
+ desc_len = min_t(size_t, max_seg_size, ctlr->max_dma_len);
sgs = DIV_ROUND_UP(len, desc_len);
} else {
return -EINVAL;
}

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
