[PATCH v3] tpm: vtpm_proxy: Check length to avoid compiler warning

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Jan 19 2022 - 13:44:10 EST


When building with -Warray-bounds under GCC 11.2, this warning was
emitted:

In function 'memset',
inlined from 'vtpm_proxy_fops_read' at drivers/char/tpm/tpm_vtpm_proxy.c:102:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:43:33: warning: '__builtin_memset' pointer overflow between offset 164 and size [2147483648, 4294967295]
[-Warray-bounds]
43 | #define __underlying_memset __builtin_memset
| ^

This warning appears to be triggered due to the "count < len"
check in vtpm_proxy_fops_read() splitting the CFG[1], and the compiler
attempting to reason about the possible value range in len compared
to the buffer size.

In order to silence this warning, and to keep this code robust if the
use of proxy_dev->req_len ever changes in the future, explicitly check
the size of len before reaching the memset().
