What about this?
[PATCH] pcmcia: avoid buffer overflow in pcmcia_setup_isa_irq
NR_IRQS may be as low as 16, causing a (harmless?) buffer overflow in
pcmcia_setup_isa_irq():
static u8 pcmcia_used_irq[NR_IRQS];
...
if ((try < 32) && pcmcia_used_irq[irq])
continue;
This is read-only, so if this address would be non-zero, it would just
mean we would not attempt an IRQ >= NR_IRQS -- which would fail anyway!
And as request_irq() fails for an irq >= NR_IRQS, the setting code path:
pcmcia_used_irq[irq]++;
is never reached as well.
