[PATCH v2] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Switch to common use of attributes

From: Len Baker
Date: Sun Sep 26 2021 - 07:23:06 EST


As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

So, to avoid open-coded arithmetic in the kzalloc() call inside the
create_attr_set() function the code must be refactored. Using the
struct_size() helper is the fast solution but it is better to switch
this code to common use of attributes.

Then, remove all the custom code to manage hotkey attributes and use the
attribute_group structure instead, refactoring the code accordingly.
Also, to manage the optional hotkey attributes (hotkey_tablet_mode and
hotkey_radio_sw) use the is_visible callback from the same structure.

Moreover, now the hotkey_init_tablet_mode() function never returns a
negative number. So, the check after the call can be safely removed.

Hi,

Following the suggestions made by Greg I have switch the code to common
use of attributes. However this code is untested. If someone could test
it would be great.

Thanks,
Len

Changelog v1 -> v2
- Don't use the struct_size helper and switch the code to common use of
attributes (Greg Kroah-Hartman).
