commit 0c93ac69407d63a85be0129aa55ffaec27ffebd3 upstream.
This does the directory entry name verification for the legacy
"fillonedir" (and compat) interface that goes all the way back to the
dark ages before we had a proper dirent, and the readdir() system call
returned just a single entry at a time.
Nobody should use this interface unless you still have binaries from
1991, but let's do it right.
This came up during discussions about unsafe_copy_to_user() and proper
checking of all the inputs to it, as the networking layer is looking to
use it in a few new places. So let's make sure the _old_ users do it
all right and proper, before we add new ones.
See also commit 8a23eb804ca4 ("Make filldir[64]() verify the directory
entry filename is valid") which did the proper modern interfaces that
people actually use. It had a note:
Note that I didn't bother adding the checks to any legacy interfaces
that nobody uses.
which this now corrects. Note that we really don't care about POSIX and
the presense of '/' in a directory entry, but verify_dirent_name() also
ends up doing the proper name length verification which is what the
input checking discussion was about.
[ Another option would be to remove the support for this particular very
old interface: any binaries that use it are likely a.out binaries, and
they will no longer run anyway since we removed a.out binftm support
in commit eac616557050 ("x86: Deprecate a.out support").
But I'm not sure which came first: getdents() or ELF support, so let's
pretend somebody might still have a working binary that uses the
legacy readdir() case.. ]
