Hi Kees,
We found an issue of kernel bug related to HARDENED_USERCOPY.
When copying an IO buffer to userspace, HARDENED_USERCOPY thought it is
illegal to copy this buffer. Actually this is because this IO buffer was
merged from two bio vectors, and the two bio vectors buffer was
allocated with kmalloc() in the filesystem layer.
The block layer __blk_segment_map_sg() do the merge if two bio vectors
is continuous in physical.
/* Default implementation of BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE */
#define __BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE(vec1, vec2) \
((bvec_to_phys((vec1)) + (vec1)->bv_len) == bvec_to_phys((vec2)))
After the merge, driver do not know the buffer is consist of two slab
objects. It copies this buffer at once with the total length.
Obviously this cannot through the check of HARDENED_USERCOPY.
So how can we do in this situation?
1.Shutdown HARDENED_USERCOPY ?
2.Tell filesystems not to use kmalloc to send IOs down?
3.Tell the driver to use _copy_to_user instead of copy_to_user ?
Thoughts? suggestions?
