Subject: fix fault_in_multipages_...() on architectures with no-op access_ok()
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e23d4159b109167126e5bcd7f3775c95de7fee47 upstream.
Switching iov_iter fault-in to multipages variants has exposed an old
bug in underlying fault_in_multipages_...(); they break if the range
passed to them wraps around. Normally access_ok() done by callers will
prevent such (and it's a guaranteed EFAULT - ERR_PTR() values fall into
such a range and they should not point to any valid objects).
However, on architectures where userland and kernel live in different
MMU contexts (e.g. s390) access_ok() is a no-op and on those a range
with a wraparound can reach fault_in_multipages_...().
Since any wraparound means EFAULT there, the fix is trivial - turn
those
while (uaddr <= end)
...
into
if (unlikely(uaddr > end))
return -EFAULT;
do
...
while (uaddr <= end);
