Dan reports that smatch thinks userspace can craft an out-of-bound bus family number. However, nd_cmd_clear_to_send() blocks all non-zero values of bus-family since only the kernel can initiate these commands. However, in the speculation path, family is a user controlled array index value so mask it for speculation safety. Also, since the nd_cmd_clear_to_send() safety is non-obvious and possibly may change in the future include input validation as if userspace could get past the nd_cmd_clear_to_send() gatekeeper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
