Subject: [GIT PULL ] signal/vm86_32: Remove pointless test in BUG_ON


Linus,

Please pull the exit-cleanups-for-v5.16 branch from the git tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git exit-cleanups-for-v5.16

  HEAD: c7a9b6471c8ee6a2180fc5f2f7a1e284754bdfc5 signal/vm86_32: Remove pointless test in BUG_ON


This branch has only one unpulled change.  Just the removal of an
unnecessary test from a BUG_ON.  Which in my running of the fuzzer
locally fixes the issue.

vm86_32.c:109 is: "BUG_ON(!vm86 || !vm86->user_vm86)"

When trying to understand the failure Brian Gerst pointed out[2] that
the code does not need protection against vm86->user_vm86 being NULL.
The copy_from_user code will already handles that case if the address
is going to fault.

Looking futher I realized that if we care about not allowing struct
vm86plus_struct at address 0 it should be do_sys_vm86 (the system
call) that does the filtering.  Not way down deep when the emulation
has completed in save_v86_state.

So let's just remove the silly case of attempting to filter a
userspace address with a BUG_ON.  Existing userspace can't break and
it won't make the kernel any more attackable as the userspace access
helpers will handle it, if it isn't a good userspace pointer.

I have run the reproducer the fuzzer gave me before I made this change
and it reproduced, and after I made this change and I have not seen
the reported failure.  So it does looks like this fixes the reported
issue.
