Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next] xfrm: Fix unaligned access to stats in copy_to_user_state()
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 11:48:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151021154722.GA14667@oracle.com> (raw)
On sparc, deleting established SAs (e.g., by restarting ipsec)
results in unaligned access messages via xfrm_del_sa ->
km_state_notify -> xfrm_send_state_notify().
Even though struct xfrm_usersa_info is aligned on 8-byte boundaries,
netlink attributes are fundamentally only 4 byte aligned, and this
cannot be changed for nla_data() that is passed up to userspace.
As a result, the put_unaligned() macro needs to be used to
set up potentially unaligned fields such as the xfrm_stats in
copy_to_user_state()
Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com>

v2: review comment from thread: cannot use PTR_ALIGN as this would break
userspace assumptions about 4 byte alignment. Use *_unaligned() macros
as needed, instead.
