kunit: test_dev_action: Correctly cast 'priv' pointer to long*

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 2551a1eedc ]

The previous implementation incorrectly assumed the original type of
'priv' was void**, leading to an unnecessary and misleading
cast. Correct the cast of the 'priv' pointer in test_dev_action() to
its actual type, long*, removing an unnecessary cast.

As an additional benefit, this fixes an out-of-bounds CHERI fault on
hardware with architectural capabilities. The original implementation
tried to store a capability-sized pointer using the priv
pointer. However, the priv pointer's capability only granted access to
the memory region of its original long type, leading to a bounds
violation since the size of a long is smaller than the size of a
capability. This change ensures that the pointer usage respects the
capabilities' bounds.
