| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current string_get_size() overflows when the device size goes over 2^64 bytes because the string helper routine computes the suffix from the size in bytes. However, the entirety of Linux thinks in terms of blocks, not bytes, so this will artificially induce an overflow on very large devices. Fix this by making the function string_get_size() take blocks and the block size instead of bytes. This should allow us to keep working until the current SCSI standard overflows. Also fix virtio_blk and mmc (both of which were also artificially multiplying by the block size to pass a byte side to string_get_size()). The mathematics of this is pretty simple: we're taking a product of size in blocks (S) and block size (B) and trying to re-express this in exponential form: S*B = R*N^E (where N, the exponent is either 1000 or 1024) and R < N. Mathematically, S = RS*N^ES and B=RB*N^EB, so if RS*RB < N it's easy to see that S*B = RS*RB*N^(ES+EB). However, if RS*BS > N, we can see that this can be re-expressed as RS*BS = R*N (where R = RS*BS/N < N) so the whole exponent becomes R*N^(ES+EB+1) [jejb: fix incorrect 32 bit do_div spotted by kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com>] Acked-by: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Odin.com>
* | lib/string_helpers.c: change semantics of string_escape_memRasmus Villemoes2015-04-151-4/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf). So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like: Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination. It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to append a '\0' if desired. Also, we must output partial escape sequences, otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever they previously contained. This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem(); since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops. In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. We also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref) if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for kasprintf("%pE") to work. In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics. Someone should definitely double-check this. In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

* libstring_helpers.c:string_get_size(): return voidRasmus Villemoes2015-02-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | string_get_size() was documented to return an error, but in fact always returned 0. Since the output always fits in 9 bytes, just document that and let callers do what they do now: pass a small stack buffer and ignore the return value.

* lib / string_helpers: introduce string_escape_mem()Andy Shevchenko2014-10-141-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape(). Nevertheless it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer. The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype. The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later on.

* lib / string_helpers: move documentation to c-fileAndy Shevchenko2014-10-141-34/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The introduced function string_escape_mem() is a kind of opposite to string_unescape. We have several users of such functionality each of them created custom implementation. The series contains clean up of test suite, adding new call, and switching few users to use it via %*pE specifier. Test suite covers all of existing and most of potential use cases. This patch (of 11): The documentation of API belongs to c-file. This patch moves it accordingly. There is no functional change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several places in kernel where modules unescapes input to convert C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.

* [SCSI] lib: add generic helper to print sizes rounded to the correct SI rangeJames Bottomley2008-10-031-0/+16
This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI) or 2^10 (Binary) units. It rounds up to three significant figures and can be used for either memory or storage capacities. Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128 bit computers ...
