The function 'decide_core()' contains the following code:
cur_inst_load = load_per_instance(inst);
cur_inst_load *= inst->clk_data.vpp_freq;
...
cur_inst_lp_load = load_per_instance(inst);
cur_inst_lp_load *= inst->clk_data.low_power_freq;
This can lead to an integer overflow because the variables
'cur_inst_load' and 'cur_inst_lp_load' are of type u32.
The overflow can occur in the following scenario:
1. The current FPS is 240 (VENUS_MAX_FPS constant).
The processed image frame has a resolution of 4096x4096 pixels.
2. According to 'codec_freq_data':
- 'inst->clk_data.low_power_freq' can be up to 320
- 'inst->clk_data.vpp_freq' can be up to 675
(see drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_platform_v4.c
and drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_platform_v6.c)
3. 'load_per_instance()' returns 15728640 under these conditions.
4. As a result:
cur_inst_load *= inst->clk_data.vpp_freq → 10616832000
cur_inst_lp_load *= inst->clk_data.low_power_freq → 5033164800
The proposed fix changes the type of these variables from u32 to u64
to prevent overflow.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
