IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface
[ Upstream commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 ] The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for bi-directional ioctl(). This is not safe. There are ways to trigger write calls that result in the return structure that is normally written to user space being shunted off to user specified kernel memory instead. For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to the write API. For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities (likely a structured ioctl() interface). The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.
