Subject: [PATCH 03/11] security: commoncap: fix -Wstringop-overread warning
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 17:02:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210322160253.4032422-4-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210322160253.4032422-1-arnd@kernel.org>

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

gcc-11 introdces a harmless warning for cap_inode_getsecurity:

security/commoncap.c: In function ‘cap_inode_getsecurity’:
security/commoncap.c:440:33: error: ‘memcpy’ reading 16 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
  440 |                                 memcpy(&nscap->data, &cap->data, sizeof(__le32) * 2 * VFS_CAP_U32);
      |                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem here is that tmpbuf is initialized to NULL, so gcc assumes
it is not accessible unless it gets set by vfs_getxattr_alloc().  This is
a legitimate warning as far as I can tell, but the code is correct since
it correctly handles the error when that function fails.

Add a separate NULL check to tell gcc about it as well.
