[PATCH 1/4] mm/mlock: return EINVAL for illegal user memory range in mlock

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

 



From: Ma Wupeng <mawupeng1@xxxxxxxxxx>

While testing mlock, we have a problem if the len of mlock is ULONG_MAX.
The return value of mlock is zero. But nothing will be locked since the
len in do_mlock overflows to zero due to the following code in mlock:

  len = PAGE_ALIGN(len + (offset_in_page(start)));

The same problem happens in munlock.

Since TASK_SIZE is the maximum user space address. The start or len of
mlock shouldn't be bigger than this. Function access_ok can be used to
check this issue, so return -EINVAL if bigger.
