Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net/cnxk: fix overrun when processing tail drop arg
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 21:45:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923044528.89132-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
If cnxk is compiled with LTO, compiler detects that the code
to parse a flag is expecting to write 16 bit value into a
one byte field.
In function ‘parse_flag’,
inlined from ‘kvargs_process_common’ at ../lib/kvargs/rte_kvargs.c:187:9,
inlined from ‘rte_kvargs_process’ at ../lib/kvargs/rte_kvargs.c:203:9,
inlined from ‘cnxk_ethdev_parse_devargs’ at ../drivers/net/cnxk/cnxk_ethdev_devargs.c:371:2:
../drivers/net/cnxk/cnxk_ethdev_devargs.c:166: warning: writing 2 bytes into a region of size 1 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
166 | *(uint16_t *)extra_args = atoi(value);
../drivers/net/cnxk/cnxk_ethdev_devargs.c: In function ‘cnxk_ethdev_parse_devargs’:
../drivers/net/cnxk/cnxk_ethdev_devargs.c:306:17: note: destination object ‘force_tail_drop’ of size 1
306 | uint8_t force_tail_drop = 0;
| ^
Bugzilla ID: 1790
