From 5bbb2ae3d6f896f8d2082d1eceb6131c2420b7cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Bolle Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 23:23:12 +0100 Subject: raw: test against runtime value of max_raw_minors bind_get() checks the device number it is called with. It uses MAX_RAW_MINORS for the upper bound. But MAX_RAW_MINORS is set at compile time while the actual number of raw devices can be set at runtime. This means the test can either be too strict or too lenient. And if the test ends up being too lenient bind_get() might try to access memory beyond what was allocated for "raw_devices". So check against the runtime value (max_raw_minors) in this function.
