[PATCH 2.4] i2c-dev user/kernel bug and mem leak

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

 



Thank you for looking at my bug report and proposed patch with such
careful scrutiny!  I think the mem leak fix you propose is fine, but I
had an ulterior motive for writing the user/kernel fix as I did. 

The user/kernel bug was discovered by our automatic bug-finding tool,
cqual, and my patch allowed i2c-dev.c to pass through cqual with no
warnings.  The new patch does not, because rdwr_pa[i].buf is sometimes a
a user pointer and sometimes a kernel pointer, e.g. on i2c-dev.c, line
248:


data_ptrs[i] = rdwr_pa[i].buf; // rdwr_pa[i].buf is user pointer
rdwr_pa[i].buf = kmalloc(rdwr_pa[i].len, GFP_KERNEL); // now it's kernel


Cqual is not just a bug finder, it can verify the _absence_ of bugs.  I
think this is pretty cool.  Imagine a kernel that can be automatically
verified to have no user/kernel bugs.  You'd never have to worry about
user/kernel bugs again!

But like all automatic code verification tools, cqual imposes certain
limits on the types of code you can write.  For example, cqual doesn't
allow a variable to sometimes hold a user pointer and sometimes hold a
kernel pointer, like rdwr_pa[i].buf now does.  The original patch avoids
this, but the new patch doesn't for performance reasons.  FWIW, I think
Linus' checker will also fail to check the new patch. 

So there's a trade-off here between performance and automatic code
auditing.  Considering that 

1. The performance cost of the original patch is minor. 
2. i2c-dev.c has had user/kernel bugs in the past. 
3. This user/kernel bug was tricky and time consuming to understand. 

I propose that having code which can be automatically verified may be
more important than squeezing out every last cycle.  In other words,
user/kernel bugs have proven so tricky to detect and fix that it's worth
writing _slightly_ less efficient code in order to have code which can
be automatically verified. 

After looking at your rewritten patch, I thought of a possibly cleaner
way to make i2c-dev.c pass cqual without warnings.  I've included it
below.  I'd like to work with the i2c developers to find a solution
which can be automatically audited and that you like. 

Thanks for giving this so much thought. 

Best, 
Rob 

This patch is against i2c cvs.  The basic idea is this:

- move all the fields, except buf, of i2c_msg into a substructure, md
(i.e. metadata).
- lots of 1 line changes based on this
- Now the i2cdev_ioctl I2C_RDWR works as follows:

copy all the i2_msg structures from userspace onto tmp_pa
for i = 1 to number of messages
   rdwr_pa[i].md = tmp_pa[i].md;
   rdwr_pa[i].buf = kmalloc(...);
   copy_from_user (rdwr_pa[i].buf, tmp_pa[i].buf);

instead of

copy all the i2_msg structures from userspace onto rdwr_pa
for i = 1 to number of messages
   data_ptr[i] = rdwr_pa[i].buf;
   rdwr_pa[i].buf = kmalloc(...);
   copy_from_user (rdwr_pa[i].buf, data_ptr[i]);

The overhead versus the current version of the ioctl is
- the extra memory consumed by tmp_pa (versus data_ptr)
- the copy of the md field (versus the copy of rdwr_pa[i].buf).
The benefit is
- never have to worry about user/kernel bugs again.
