There's two variables being increased in that loop (i and j), and i
follows the raw data, and j follows what is being written into the buffer.
We should compare 'i' to MAX_MEMHEX_BYTES or compare 'j' to HEX_CHARS.
Otherwise, if 'j' goes bigger than HEX_CHARS, it will overflow the
destination buffer.

This bug was introduced by commit 6d2289f3faa71dcc ("tracing: Make
trace_seq_putmem_hex() more robust")

* [PATCH 2/2] seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8

At present, trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only support data with length
of 8 or less, which greatly limits its application scope. If we want to
dump longer data blocks, we need to repeatedly call macro SEQ_PUT_HEX_FIELD.
I think it is a bit redundant, and multiple function calls also affect
the performance.

This patch is to perfect the commit 6d2289f3faa7 ("tracing: Make
trace_seq_putmem_hex() more robust").

No it wasn't. The bug was in the original code:

  5e3ca0ec76fce ("ftrace: introduce the "hex" output method")

Which had this:

If len is 16 (and HEX_CHARS is 17) the bug wouldn't happen.

The above starts at len-1 (15) and will iterate 15 times.

j is incremented twice for every loop, and if len was 15, that is 30 times.

Needless to say, once i iterated 9 times, then j would be 18, and one
more than the size of hex. And boom, it breaks.

The above is *way* too complex for a backport that should go back to
the beginning. You were partially, correct, and the proper fix would be:


diff --git a/lib/seq_buf.c b/lib/seq_buf.c
index 707453f5d58e..eb68b5b3eb26 100644

That solves the first bug, and is easy to backport.

The second bug, is that data doesn't go forward (as you stated in your
original patch) which would be:

diff --git a/lib/seq_buf.c b/lib/seq_buf.c

Why are you making it so complicated?
