From: David Windsor <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> SCSI sense buffers, stored in struct scsi_cmnd.sense and therefore contained in the scsi_sense_cache slab cache, need to be copied to/from userspace. cache object allocation: drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c: scsi_select_sense_cache(...): return ... ? scsi_sense_isadma_cache : scsi_sense_cache scsi_alloc_sense_buffer(...): return kmem_cache_alloc_node(scsi_select_sense_cache(), ...); scsi_init_request(...): ... cmd->sense_buffer = scsi_alloc_sense_buffer(...); ... cmd->req.sense = cmd->sense_buffer example usage trace: block/scsi_ioctl.c: (inline from sg_io) blk_complete_sghdr_rq(...): struct scsi_request *req = scsi_req(rq); ... copy_to_user(..., req->sense, len) scsi_cmd_ioctl(...): sg_io(...); In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the scsi_sense_cache 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.
