Shouldn't this be >= ?
Not needed. Lets take a hypothetical case when core->dec_codecs has initial 16
(0-15) bits set and core->enc_codecs has next 16 bits (16-31) set. The bit
count
would be 32. The codec loop after this check would run on caps array index
0-31.
I do not see a possibility for OOB access in this case.


struct hfi_plat_caps caps[MAX_CODEC_NUM];

Are you not doing a general defensive coding pass in this series ie

"[PATCH v2 2/4] venus: hfi: fix the check to handle session buffer requirement"

In "PATCH v2 2/4", there is a possibility if the check does not consider "=".
Here in this patch, I do not see a possibility.

But surely hweight_long(core->dec_codecs) + hweight_long(core->enc_codecs) ==
MAX_CODEC_NUM is an invalid offset ?

No, it isn't. Please run through the loop with the bitmasks added upto 32 and
see if there is a possibility of OOB.

IDK Vikash, the logic here seems suspect.

We have two loops that check for up to 32 indexes per loop. Why not have a capabilities index that can accommodate all 64 bits ?

Why is it valid to have 16 encoder bits and 16 decoder bits but invalid to have 16 encoder bits with 17 decoder bits ? While at the same time valid to have 0 encoder bits but 17 decoder bits ?
