[PATCH] comedi: addi_apci_3xxx: fix subdevice count underallocation
From: Yang Zi
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 05:08:54 EST
In apci3xxx_auto_attach(), the number of subdevices is computed with
n_subdevices = (board->ai_n_chan ? 0 : 1) + board->has_ao + ...
The ternary is inverted: when the board has analog input channels
(ai_n_chan != 0), it counts 0 instead of 1, so the AI subdevice that is
actually created is not accounted for. As a result
comedi_alloc_subdevices() allocates one entry too few, and the later
subdevice initialization (notably the TTL Digital I/O subdevice, which
is populated last) writes past the end of the allocated array, causing a
slab out-of-bounds write.
Flip the ternary to count 1 when ai_n_chan is non-zero and 0 otherwise,
matching the subdevice creation order in the function.
