ACPI: APEI / ERST: Fix missing error handling in erst_reader()
The commit
f6f828513290 ("pstore: pass allocated memory region back to
caller") changed the check of the return value from erst_read() in
erst_reader() in the following way:
if (len == -ENOENT)
goto skip;
- else if (len < 0) {
- rc = -1;
+ else if (len < sizeof(*rcd)) {
+ rc = -EIO;
goto out;
This introduced another bug: since the comparison with sizeof() is
cast to unsigned, a negative len value doesn't hit any longer.
As a result, when an error is returned from erst_read(), the code
falls through, and it may eventually lead to some weird thing like
memory corruption.
This patch adds the negative error value check more explicitly for
addressing the issue.
