Subject: goldfish driver: Missing get_user_pages in
goldfish_pipe_read_write()
The following code snippet:
drivers/platform/goldfish/goldfish_pipe.c:
goldfish_pipe_read_write()
/* Ensure that the corresponding page is properly mapped */
/* FIXME: this isn't safe or sufficient - use get_user_pages */
if (is_write) {
char c;
/* Ensure that the page is mapped and readable */
if (__get_user(c, (char __user *)address)) {
if (!ret)
ret = -EFAULT;
break;
}
} else {
/* Ensure that the page is mapped and writable */
if (__put_user(0, (char __user *)address)) {
if (!ret)
ret = -EFAULT;
break;
}
}
Seems to lack the kind of validation required to make it fail properly
if the memory range is not fully populated.
I see that this feature has been merged in Linux kernel 3.9, but the
FIXME is still there in 3.10-rc7. Any plans on fixing this ?
Thanks,
Mathieu
