[PATCH v3 0/3] Assorted improvements to usercopy

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

 



We must prohibit page boundary crossing for kmap() addresses.
vmap() addresses are limited by the length of the mapping, and
compound pages are limited by the size of the page.

These should probably all have test cases?

v3:
 - Remove a now-unused variable
v2:
 - Prevent a NULL pointer dereference when a vmalloc-range pointer
   doesn't have an associated allocation (me)
 - Report better offsets than "0" (Kees)


Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (3):
  mm/usercopy: Check kmap addresses properly
  mm/usercopy: Detect vmalloc overruns
  mm/usercopy: Detect compound page overruns
