From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> as it is, the logics in native io_submit(2) is "if asked for more than LONG_MAX/sizeof(pointer) iocbs to submit, don't bother with more than LONG_MAX/sizeof(pointer)" (i.e. 512M requests on 32bit and 1E requests on 64bit) while compat io_submit(2) goes with "stop after the first PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(pointer) iocbs", i.e. 1K or so. Which is * inconsistent * *way* too much in native case * possibly too little in compat one and * wrong anyway, since the natural point where we ought to stop bothering is ctx->nr_events Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/aio.c | 11 +++-------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/aio.c b/fs/aio.c index f67b0847ecac..aa4071c98335 100644 --- a/fs/aio.c +++ b/fs/aio.c @@ -1844,15 +1844,15 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(io_submit, aio_context_t, ctx_id, long, nr, if (unlikely(nr < 0)) return -EINVAL; - if (unlikely(nr > LONG_MAX/sizeof(*iocbpp))) - nr = LONG_MAX/sizeof(*iocbpp); - ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id); if (unlikely(!ctx)) { pr_debug("EINVAL: invalid context id\n"); return -EINVAL; } + if (nr > ctx->nr_events) + nr = ctx->nr_events; + blk_start_plug(&plug); for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) { struct iocb __user *user_iocb; @@ -1873,8 +1873,6 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(io_submit, aio_context_t, ctx_id, long, nr, } #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT -#define MAX_AIO_SUBMITS (PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(struct iocb *)) - COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(io_submit, compat_aio_context_t, ctx_id, int, nr, compat_uptr_t __user *, iocbpp) { @@ -1886,9 +1884,6 @@ COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(io_submit, compat_aio_context_t, ctx_id, if (unlikely(nr < 0)) return -EINVAL; - if (nr > MAX_AIO_SUBMITS) - nr = MAX_AIO_SUBMITS; - ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id); if (unlikely(!ctx)) { pr_debug("EINVAL: invalid context id\n"); -- 2.11.0
