Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 6/6] fuse: copy request headers via a stack buffer for io-uring
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 18:20:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831222004.1858878-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831222004.1858878-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Xiang Mei <xmei5@asu.edu>
[ Upstream commit fd10f40af314f07b6d6e028b1ca25c8b49903aab ]
The fuse-io-uring transport copies req->in.h out to the ring in
fuse_uring_copy_to_ring() and req->out.h back in fuse_uring_commit().
Both headers live inside the fuse_request slab object, whose cache
(fuse_req_cachep) is created without a usercopy whitelist, so copying
them directly to/from userspace trips CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY and
panics:
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object
'fuse_request' (offset 56, size 40)!
kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:usercopy_abort (mm/usercopy.c:90)
Call Trace:
__check_heap_object (mm/slub.c:8268)
__check_object_size (mm/usercopy.c:197 mm/usercopy.c:258 mm/usercopy.c:223)
copy_header_to_ring (fs/fuse/dev_uring.c:618)
fuse_uring_prepare_send (fs/fuse/dev_uring.c:776 fs/fuse/dev_uring.c:785)
fuse_uring_send_in_task (fs/fuse/dev_uring.c:1306)
tctx_task_work_run (io_uring/tw.c:96)
task_work_run (kernel/task_work.c:233)
io_run_task_work (io_uring/tw.h:84)
io_cqring_wait (io_uring/wait.c:278)
__do_sys_io_uring_enter (io_uring/io_uring.c:2685)
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121)
Bounce both headers through an on-stack copy so the usercopy touches
stack memory, not the slab object.
