Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kuap: Allow kernel thread to access userspace after kthread_use_mm
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2021 08:34:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210205030426.430331-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
This fix the bad fault reported by KUAP when io_wqe_worker access userspace.
Bug: Read fault blocked by KUAP!

The kernel consider thread AMR value for kernel thread to be
AMR_KUAP_BLOCKED. Hence access to userspace is denied. This
of course not correct and we should allow userspace access after
kthread_use_mm(). To be precise, kthread_use_mm() should inherit the
AMR value of the operating address space. But, the AMR value is
thread-specific and we inherit the address space and not thread
access restrictions. Because of this ignore AMR value when accessing
userspace via kernel thread.
