[PATCH 12/30] W1: w1_therm fix user buffer overflow and cat

From: David Fries
Date: Wed Jul 30 2008 - 22:54:58 EST


Fixed data reading bug by replacing binary attribute with device one.

Switching the sysfs read from bin_attribute to device_attribute. The
data is far under PAGE_SIZE so the binary interface isn't required.
As the device_attribute interface will make one call to w1_therm_read per
file open and buffer, the result is, the following problems go away.

buffer overflow:
Execute a short read on w1_slave and w1_therm_read_bin would still
return the full string size worth of data clobbering the user space
buffer when it returned. Switching to device_attribute avoids the
buffer overflow problems. With the snprintf formatted output dealing
with short reads without doing a conversion per read would have
been difficult.
bad behavior:
`cat w1_slave` would cause two temperature conversions to take place.
Previously the code assumed W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE would be returned with
each read. It would not return 0 unless the offset was less
than W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE. The result was the first read did a
temperature conversion, filled the buffer and returned, the
offset in the second read would be less than
W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE and also fill the buffer and return, the
third read would finnally have a big enough offset to return 0
and cause cat to stop. Now w1_therm_read will be called at
most once per open.
