This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls to the 3.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: fs-compat-fix-parameter-handling-for-compat-readv-writev-syscalls.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From dfd948e32af2e7b28bcd7a490c0a30d4b8df2a36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:05:44 -0800 Subject: fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> commit dfd948e32af2e7b28bcd7a490c0a30d4b8df2a36 upstream. We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in compat mode on s390. It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t. This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.
