Is there a way to tell the boat "looking into it?"

I guess I have to swim across to it to get the message;->

I couldnt see the warning message but it is obvious by inspection that
the memcpy is broken. We should add more test coverage.
This should fix it. Will send a formal patch later:

This patch is not needed, please look at struct_size() definition.

Here, we might switch to unsafe_memcpy() instead of memcpy()

Yes, after testing i realize there is nothing wrong here.
What warning was i supposed to see from running the reproducer?

We will still add the test will multiple keys later

cheers,

To be clear, that splat didnt happen for me.
Is there something else syzbot does to activate it?

I would tend to agree. Something like:

diff --git a/net/sched/cls_u32.c b/net/sched/cls_u32.c
index 4d27300c287c..21e0e6206ecc 100644

+++ b/net/sched/cls_u32.c
@@ -1040,7 +1040,9 @@ static int u32_change(struct net *net, struct sk_buff *in_skb,

#endif

- memcpy(&n->sel, s, sel_size);
+ unsafe_memcpy(&n->sel, s, sel_size,
+ /* A composite flex-array structure destination,
+ * which was correctly sized and allocated above. */);
RCU_INIT_POINTER(n->ht_up, ht);
n->handle = handle;
n->fshift = s->hmask ? ffs(ntohl(s->hmask)) - 1 : 0;

This alloc/partial-copy pattern is relatively common in the kernel, so
I've been considering adding a helper for it. It'd be like kmemdup(),
but more like kmemdup_offset(), which only the object from a certainly
point is copied.

Ah, there is another in the same source file, in u32_init_knode():

memcpy(&new->sel, s, struct_size(s, keys, s->nkeys));

(I've been trying to convince Coccinelle to produce a list of all the
composite structure targets, but I keep running into weird glitches.
That it hadn't found this one let me track down the latest issue, so now
I should be able to find more! Whew.)

Smatch will soon start complaining about these. Can we instead do:

sel_size = size_add(struct_size(s, keys, s->nkeys), sizeof(n->sel));

Probably eventually Smatch will be able to detect some times when
struct_size() is used for readability and not for safety so maybe it
won't warn...

Do you want to submit that patch then?
FWIW, I could not recreate what syzbot saw even after setting
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y

Hi Jamal,

No, there is no way.
How do you propose the bot use that information? If it won't use it,
then there is no point in telling it.

Though, it makes sense to tell this to other people. But for that I
guess you just leave a note on the email thread.
