[RFC PATCH] VMCI: Silence memcpy() run-time false positive warning

[Harshit Mogalapalli]

Syzkaller hit 'WARNING in dg_dispatch_as_host' bug.

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 56) of single field "&dg_info->msg"
at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237 (size 24)

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1555 at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237
dg_dispatch_as_host+0x88e/0xa60 drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237

Some code commentry, based on my understanding:

544 #define VMCI_DG_SIZE(_dg) (VMCI_DG_HEADERSIZE + (size_t)(_dg)->payload_size)
/// This is 24 + payload_size

memcpy(&dg_info->msg, dg, dg_size);
	Destination = dg_info->msg ---> this is a 24 byte
					structure(struct vmci_datagram)
	Source = dg --> this is a 24 byte structure (struct vmci_datagram)
	Size = dg_size = 24 + payload_size


{payload_size = 56-24 =32} -- Syzkaller managed to set payload_size to 32.

 35 struct delayed_datagram_info {
 36         struct datagram_entry *entry;
 37         struct work_struct work;
 38         bool in_dg_host_queue;
 39         /* msg and msg_payload must be together. */
 40         struct vmci_datagram msg;
 41         u8 msg_payload[];
 42 };

So those extra bytes of payload are copied into msg_payload[], so there
is no bug, but a run time warning is seen while fuzzing with Syzkaller.

One possible way to silence the warning is to split the memcpy() into
two parts -- one -- copying the msg and second taking care of payload.
