[PATCH v5] fbdev: fbmem: Fix the implicit type casting

From: Yizhuo Zhai <hidden>
Date: 2022-02-02 23:33:58

In function do_fb_ioctl(), the "arg" is the type of unsigned long,
and in "case FBIOBLANK:" this argument is casted into an int before
passig to fb_blank(). In fb_blank(), the comparision
if (blank > FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN) would be bypass if the original
"arg" is a large number, which is possible because it comes from
the user input. Fix this by adding the check before the function
call.

Is it really necessary to perform this check within the lock ?
arg is a passed in value, and FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN.
It seems to me that

	case FBIOBLANK:
		if (arg > FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN)
			return -EINVAL;
		console_lock();
		...

should be sufficient.

Sorry if I missed some previous discussion; this is the first time
I looked at this patch.

On a side note, change logs would be useful.
