Subject: [PATCH v3] mm: memdup_user*() should use same gfp flags
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 19:55:38 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210127105538.4919-1-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210126111315.858994-1-snovitoll@gmail.com>
syzbot is reporting that memdup_user_nul() which receives user-controlled
size (which can be up to (INT_MAX & PAGE_MASK)) via vfs_write() will hit
order >= MAX_ORDER path [1].
Making costly allocations (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER) naturally fail
should be better than trying to enforce PAGE_SIZE upper limit, for some of
callers accept space-delimited list arguments.
Therefore, let's add __GFP_NOWARN to memdup_user_nul() as with
commit 6c8fcc096be9d02f ("mm: don't let userspace spam allocations
warnings"). Also use GFP_USER as with other userspace-controllable
allocations like memdup_user().
