Subject: [PATCH v3] accel/ethosu: fix arithmetic issues in dma_length()
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 10:37:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260524103710.47397-1-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260524060644.106635-1-meatuni001@gmail.com>
dma_length() derives DMA region usage from command stream values and
updates region_size[]:
len = ((len + stride[0]) * size0 + stride[1]) * size1
region_size[region] = max(..., len + dma->offset)
Several arithmetic issues can corrupt the derived region size:
- signed stride values may underflow when added to len
- intermediate multiplications may overflow
- len + dma->offset may overflow during region_size updates
- dma_length() error returns were not validated by the caller
region_size[] is later used by ethosu_job.c to validate command stream
accesses against GEM buffer sizes. Arithmetic wraparound can therefore
under-report region usage and bypass the bounds validation.
Fix by validating signed additions, using overflow helpers for
multiplications and offset updates, and propagating dma_length()
failures to the caller.
Fixes: 5a5e9c0228e6 ("accel: Add Arm Ethos-U NPU driver")

v3:
- add check_add_overflow() for len + dma->offset
- validate dma_length() return value in caller
- rework commit message to avoid unproven claims
v2:
- add negative stride underflow checks before each addition
- replace unchecked multiplications with check_mul_overflow()
