Subject: [PATCH 5.6 047/161] usercopy: mark dma-kmalloc caches as usercopy caches

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz>

commit 49f2d2419d60a103752e5fbaf158cf8d07c0d884 upstream.

We have seen a "usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to
SLUB object 'dma-kmalloc-1 k' (offset 0, size 11)!" error on s390x, as
IUCV uses kmalloc() with __GFP_DMA because of memory address
restrictions.  The issue has been discussed [2] and it has been noted
that if all the kmalloc caches are marked as usercopy, there's little
reason not to mark dma-kmalloc caches too.  The 'dma' part merely means
that __GFP_DMA is used to restrict memory address range.

As Jann Horn put it [3]:
 "I think dma-kmalloc slabs should be handled the same way as normal
  kmalloc slabs. When a dma-kmalloc allocation is freshly created, it is
  just normal kernel memory - even if it might later be used for DMA -,
  and it should be perfectly fine to copy_from_user() into such
  allocations at that point, and to copy_to_user() out of them at the
  end. If you look at the places where such allocations are created, you
  can see things like kmemdup(), memcpy() and so on - all normal
  operations that shouldn't conceptually be different from usercopy in
  any relevant way."

Thus this patch marks the dma-kmalloc-* caches as usercopy.
