Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mailbox: ti-msgmgr: Read exact number of trailing message bytes
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 01:31:59 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929200159.4033010-3-b-padhi@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929200159.4033010-1-b-padhi@ti.com>

ti_msgmgr_send_data() copies the message to the data registers in u32
units. This has been harmless so far because the clients (TI-SCI)
always passed its preallocated message buffer, which is sized to the
maximum message size (60 or 64 bytes, a multiple of 4), so the extra
bytes read were still within the buffer. But, with a later TI-SCI
update, the message size can be varying now and not guaranteed to be a
multiple of 4, which would trigger KASAN out-of-bounds reports.

Therefore, Build the trailing word by reading one byte at a time, only
up to the message length. The value written to the register is
unchanged.
