[PATCH v4 0/4] Assorted improvements to usercopy

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

 



The HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN config option is hard to turn on because
much of the kernel uses non-compound high-order page allocations.
This patchset extracts the valuable parts of HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
and then removes the remainder.

v4:
 - Add the fourth patch to remove HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
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) (4):
  mm/usercopy: Check kmap addresses properly
  mm/usercopy: Detect vmalloc overruns
  mm/usercopy: Detect compound page overruns
  usercopy: Remove HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
