From b2e19c77678a5ca5f1233eb7d1989c143386d838 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2010 16:16:18 -0700 Subject: compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok() commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream. compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.
