Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] iio: proximity: sx9360: reject out-of-range hardware gain values
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 22:21:53 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109165200.305266-3-kapoorarnav43@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109165200.305266-1-kapoorarnav43@gmail.com>
sx9360_write_gain() passes the value from userspace to ilog2() and then
FIELD_PREP() into the 3-bit PROX_CTRL0 gain field without checking it,
so some values silently program a gain unrelated to the one requested,
and the write still reports success:
- 16 to 255 write gain codes 4 to 7, which the driver does not
advertise, and the next read reports gains of 16 to 128;
- 256 and larger wrap around in the field, e.g. 256 sets a gain of 1;
- 0 and negative values write code 7 (read back as 128), because
ilog2(0) is -1 and a negative int becomes a large unsigned value.
Return -EINVAL for values <= 0 and for values above the gain of 8 code.
FIELD_FIT() is not enough here, as the field also holds codes 4 to 7,
which the driver doesn't support. Values between the supported gains
of 1, 2, 4 and 8 are still rounded down, as before.
Fixes: 1cdb4c47f7f5 ("iio:proximity:sx9360: Add sx9360 support")
