Subject: [PATCH] fscache: fscache_set_key() - align alloc and usage
Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2018 13:05:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180722110519.23917-1-tomasbortoli@gmail.com> (raw)

The fscache_set_key() function allocates the buf pointer if index_key_len > sizeof(cookie->inline_key).
In such cases the allocated space might not be aligned with the pointer type.
This may result in an out-of-bound in the for-loop later in the same function, as the counter is rounded up.
