[PATCH] mm: fix filler_t callback type mismatch with readpage

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

 



Casting mapping->a_ops->readpage to filler_t causes an indirect call
type mismatch with Control-Flow Integrity checking. This change fixes
the mismatch in read_cache_page_gfp and read_mapping_page by adding a
stub callback function with the correct type.

As the kernel only has a couple of instances of read_cache_page(s)
being called with a callback function that doesn't accept struct file*
as the first parameter, Android kernels have previously fixed this by
changing filler_t to int (*filler_t)(struct file *, struct page *):

  https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/kernel/common/+/671260

While this approach did fix most of the issues, the few remaining
cases where unrelated private data are passed to the callback become
rather awkward. Keeping filler_t unchanged and using a stub function
for readpage instead solves this problem.
