Subject[PATCH 4.14 80/89] libnvdimm: fix ars_status output length calculation
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com>

commit 286e87718103acdf85f4ed323a37e4839a8a7c05 upstream.

Commit efda1b5d87cb ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling")
Introduced additional hardening for ambiguity in the ACPI spec for
ars_status output sizing. However, it had a couple of cases mixed up.
Where it should have been checking for (and returning) "out_field[1] -
4" it was using "out_field[1] - 8" and vice versa.

This caused a four byte discrepancy in the buffer size passed on to
the command handler, and in some cases, this caused memory corruption
like:

./daxdev-errors.sh: line 76: 24104 Aborted (core dumped) ./daxdev-errors $busdev $region
malloc(): memory corruption
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
