From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> commit cd5297b0855f17c8b4e3ef1d20c6a3656209c7b3 upstream. Nothing checks userptr.ro except this call to pup_fast, which means there's nothing actually preventing userspace from writing to this. Which means you can just read-only mmap any file you want, userptr it and then write to it with the gpu. Not good. The right way to handle this is FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_FORCE, which will break any COW mappings and update tracking for MAY_WRITE mappings so there's no exploit and the vm isn't confused about what's going on. For any legit use case there's no difference from what userspace can observe and do.
