From: David Windsor <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
CIFS request buffers, stored in the cifs_request slab cache, need to be
copied to/from userspace.
cache object allocation:
fs/cifs/cifsfs.c:
cifs_init_request_bufs():
...
cifs_req_poolp = mempool_create_slab_pool(cifs_min_rcv,
cifs_req_cachep);
fs/cifs/misc.c:
cifs_buf_get():
...
ret_buf = mempool_alloc(cifs_req_poolp, GFP_NOFS);
...
return ret_buf;
In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
cifs_request slab cache in which userspace copy operations are allowed.
This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab
caches can now check that each copy operation involving cache-managed
memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.
This patch is verbatim from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

I wasn't able to actually track down the _usage_ of the cifs_request where
it is copied to userspace. If any CIFS folks could help point that out, it
would be very welcome. :) I suspect it might be part of the debug routines,
but I never managed to exercise them.
