[PATCH] HID: hyperv: fix fortify write overflow in KUnit device info tests
From: Baoli Zhang
Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 20:56:59 EST
allyesconfig fails to build:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
inlined from 'mousevsc_device_info_valid_descriptor':
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:430:25: error: call to
'__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected
write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()?
Both tests place a report descriptor in bytes allocated past
struct synthhid_device_info, then memset() it, and derive its address
from the hid_descriptor member:
report = ((u8 *)&info->hid_descriptor) + info->hid_descriptor.bLength;
Because that expression is a member reference, the fortify checks bound
the write by sizeof(info->hid_descriptor). bLength is exactly that size
here, so the remaining room in the member is zero and every write is
flagged, even though the memory really came from the caller's
kunit_kzalloc(sizeof(*info) + N).
Compute the address from the start of info instead, mirroring the
desc_offset arithmetic that mousevsc_on_receive_device_info() itself
uses. Deriving from info gives the whole allocation as the object, so
the writes are no longer attributed to a single member. The result is
the same address: (u8 *)&info->hid_descriptor is by definition
(u8 *)info + offsetof(struct synthhid_device_info, hid_descriptor), so
test behaviour is unchanged.
sizeof(*info) deliberately is not used for this: hid_descriptor is
__packed while synthhid_device_info is not, so the struct may carry
trailing padding and the report would land at the wrong offset.
