Re: [PATCH 1/2] io_uring/kbuf: fix signedness in this_len calculation

Hi Jens,


I see the Fixes tag documented is "Fixes: ae98dbf43d75
("io_uring/kbuf: add support for incremental buffer consumption")"

I think a more accurate Fixes tag is "Fixes: cf9536e550dd
("io_uring/kbuf: enable bundles for incrementally consumed buffers")"
, Reason: Commit cf9536e550dd243a1681fdbf804221527da20a80 is the first
to move incremental-buffer accounting into the new helper
io_kbuf_inc_commit(), introducing this_len = min_t(int, len,
buf->len);. The signed int here is exactly what
c64eff368ac676e8540344d27a3de47e0ad90d21 corrects.

I took a look, and indeed, it is mis-tagged. The correct fixes tag
should've been for cf9536e550dd.


Thanks a lot for taking a look, will send a patch to vulns.git to get the CVE information corrected.

Regards,
Harshit
