Commit Message

From: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com>

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will
reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory
bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Avoid a buffer overflow when traversing the ctl_table by ensuring that
AX25_MAX_VALUES is the same as the size of ax25_param_table. This is
done with a BUILD_BUG_ON where ax25_param_table is defined and a
CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE guard in the unnamed enum definition as well as
in the ax25_dev_device_up and ax25_ds_set_timer functions.

The overflow happened when the sentinel was removed from
ax25_param_table. The sentinel's data element was changed when
CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE was undefined. This had no adverse effects as it
still stopped on the sentinel's null procname but needed to be addressed
once the sentinel was removed.

Is this really needed? Looks like this file is only compiled when this
config is set:

grep ax25_ds_timer net/ax25/Makefile
ax25-$(CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE) += ax25_ds_in.o ax25_ds_subr.o ax25_ds_timer.o

Good point. I had missed this detail when addressing
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202404040301.qzKmVQGB-lkp@intel.com/.
Thx for pointing it out. I'll remove the guards for V6.

Best
