The corresponding size value\nprovided by this driver to alloc_candev() is KVASER_PCIEFD_CAN_TX_MAX_COUNT\nwhich is 17.\n\nBut later echo_skb_max is rounded up to the nearest power of two (for the\nmax case, that would be 32) and the tx/ack indices calculated further\nduring tx/rx may exceed the upper array boundary. Kasan reported this for\nthe ack case inside kvaser_pciefd_handle_ack_packet(), though the xmit\nfunction has actually caught the same thing earlier.\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kvaser_pciefd_handle_ack_packet+0x2d7/0x92a drivers/net/can/kvaser_pciefd.c:1528\n Read of size 8 at addr ffff888105e4f078 by task swapper/4/0\n\n CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/4 Not tainted 6.15.0 #12 PREEMPT(voluntary)\n Call Trace:\n  <IRQ>\n dump_stack_lvl lib/dump_stack.c:122\n print_report mm/kasan/report.c:521\n kasan_report mm/kasan/report.c:634\n kvaser_pciefd_handle_ack_packet drivers/net/can/kvaser_pciefd.c:1528\n kvaser_pciefd_read_packet drivers/net/can/kvaser_pciefd.c:1605\n kvaser_pciefd_read_buffer drivers/net/can/kvaser_pciefd.c:1656\n kvaser_pciefd_receive_irq drivers/net/can/kvaser_pciefd.c:1684\n kvaser_pciefd_irq_handler drivers/net/can/kvaser_pciefd.c:1733\n __handle_irq_event_percpu kernel/irq/handle.c:158\n handle_irq_event kernel/irq/handle.c:210\n handle_edge_irq kernel/irq/chip.c:833\n __common_interrupt arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:296\n common_interrupt arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:286\n  </IRQ>\n\nTx max count definitely matters for kvaser_pciefd_tx_avail(), but for seq\nnumbers' generation that's not the case - we're free to calculate them as\nwould be more convenient, not taking tx max count into account.
