Subject: [PATCH] floppy: don't store a stack buffer in timeout_message
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:48:39 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924094839.3239569-1-efremov@linux.com> (raw)
request_done() formats "request done %d" into a buffer on its stack and
passes it to reschedule_timeout(), which keeps the pointer in
timeout_message. show_floppy() prints timeout_message long after
request_done() has returned, e.g. from result() in the interrupt
handler, and reads a dead stack frame:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in string+0x39c/0x3d0 lib/vsprintf.c:720
Read of size 1 at addr ffffc900003cfc70 by task swapper/3/0
Call Trace:

uptodate is either 0 or 1, so pass one of two string literals instead.
