[PATCH 0/3] Use new wrappers to copy userspace arrays

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Linus recently merged [1] the wrapper functions memdup_array_user() and
vmemdup_array_user() in include/linux/string.h for Kernel v6.7

I am currently adding them to all places where (v)memdup_user() had been
used to copy arrays.

The wrapper is different to the wrapped functions only in that it might
return -EOVERFLOW. So this new error code might get pushed up to
userspace. I hope this is fine.

I felt that it might be a good idea to land those three patches here
with a single series, since they all touch something KVM-related.

Kind regards,
P.
