[PATCH V2] thunderbolt: fix bandwidth group reservation indexing

From: raoxu

Date: Tue Jun 23 2026 - 09:39:09 EST


From: Xu Rao <raoxu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Group ID 0 is reserved, while valid bandwidth groups use IDs 1 through
7. MAX_GROUPS is used both for tb_cm::groups, which stores allocatable
bandwidth groups, and for group_reserved[], which is indexed directly
by Group ID.

tb_init_bandwidth_groups() assigns i + 1 to each entry in
tb_cm::groups. Keeping seven entries therefore creates exactly the valid
Group IDs 1 through 7.

However, group_reserved[MAX_GROUPS] currently also has seven entries,
providing indices 0 through 6. When a tunnel belongs to Group ID 7,
tb_consumed_dp_bandwidth() reads and may write one element past the end
of the array. The reservation for that group is consequently not
included in the consumed bandwidth total either.

Define MAX_GROUPS as 7 + 1 so arrays indexed directly by Group ID cover
the complete 0 through 7 range, including the reserved ID 0. Size
tb_cm::groups as MAX_GROUPS - 1 so only seven bandwidth group objects
are initialized and tb_init_bandwidth_groups() continues to assign IDs
1 through 7. tb_consumed_dp_bandwidth() can then retain the direct
Group ID indexing, with Group ID 7 selecting the final valid array
element instead of accessing beyond it.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the zero-based Group ID conversion used in v1 and keep
group->index as the direct group_reserved[] index.
- Include the reserved Group ID 0 in MAX_GROUPS so direct-indexed arrays
cover the complete Group ID range 0 through 7.
- Size tb_cm::groups as MAX_GROUPS - 1 so
tb_init_bandwidth_groups() continues to create only the seven valid
groups with IDs 1 through 7.
