[PATCH 6.1 093/194] powerpc/rtas_flash: allow user copy to flash block cache objects

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

 



From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4f3175979e62de3b929bfa54a0db4b87d36257a7 upstream.

With hardened usercopy enabled (CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y), using the
/proc/powerpc/rtas/firmware_update interface to prepare a system
firmware update yields a BUG():

The blocks of the firmware image are copied directly from user memory
to objects allocated from flash_block_cache, so flash_block_cache must
be created using kmem_cache_create_usercopy() to mark it safe for user
access.
