[PATCH 0/2] regmap: fix range checks in _regmap_raw_read/write()

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

These two patches attempts to fix range checks in _regmap_raw_read()
and _regmap_raw_write() functions. Without these patches I hit kernel
crash when I attempt to dump the mmio regmap range using regmap_bulk_read().

[PATCH 1/2] regmap: Add range check in _regmap_raw_read()

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

regmap_bulk_read() ends up using the path that invokes _regmap_raw_read(),
however _regmap_raw_read() never checks if the registers that are accessed
are actually readable or within the accessible range. This results in
kernel crashes when trying to access registers beyond max_registers.

Without this patch I hit below kernel crash:

That's starting to look pretty expensive especially if what we're
looking for is just max_register really...  This is one of the reasons
we're not religious about checking for readability everywhere, and
obviously even if we avoid triggering this particular thing we still
have to cope with both the caller and devices that didn't specify
readability.  A cheaper check for just max_register would be less
concerning but it feels like we're trying to paper over a symptom with
this rather than fix a problem.

Yes, I totally agree, this call would be expensive.

Initially I had some thing like this, and it works for me.

+       if (map->max_register &&
+                       (reg > map->max_register ||
+                       ((reg + (count - 1) * map->reg_stride)  > 
map->max_register)))

Yes, just checking max_register would solve the issue for me, I think I 
over done the patch.. I will resend with just max_register check.

I'm still not happy with that, it still seems like we're just papering
over some other problem here which we should understand before we do
anything else.  Why are we generating out of bounds accesses in the
first place?

The culprit was in my test code, which I eventually fixed. However I 
would have expected regmap to do some out of bound check before it tries 
to access the register space.

If I try to do an out of bound access via regmap_read()/write() it 
throws up an error, which is not the same with regmap_bulk_read/write() 
apis.

I was lucky that I got a page fault as the register range was just at 
page boundary, but in cases where the range is not at page boundary, Its 
highly likely that it could silently corrupt other memory location( 
specially in write cases).

The risk of page faults mostly only applies to memory mapped register
maps - most register maps are on other buses where things are a bit less
clear, we do often have writes to undocumented registers which aren't
included in the readability checks (indeed it's rare for anything to
actually give us writability information for the write side).  As
covered in earlier messages a part of this is a performance tradeoff,
it's potentially expensive for us to do the checks on bulk I/O but for
single register access it's much cheaper relative to the operation as a
whole.

It's particularly interesting for MMIO actually as these devices are by
far the most performance intensive, we don't have all the costs of the
bus to mask what regmap is doing.

Yes, my test was on memory mapped registers.

I totally agree with you on the performance overhead of checking every 
read/write, But on the other hand adding a single range check is better 
than no check with less/nil performance overhead.

[PATCH 2/2] regmap: Add range check in _regmap_raw_write()

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

regmap_bulk_write() ends up using the path that invokes _regmap_raw_write(),
however _regmap_raw_write() never checks if the registers that are accessed
are actually within the accessible range. This results in kernel crashes when
trying to access registers beyond max_registers.

This patch just adds check before accessing the register range.

Your changelog doesn't correspond to what the code is actually doing
here...  what you're actually doing here is replacing an open coding of
regmap_writeable() with calls to the function.

The same papering over the cracks concerns do apply here as well, it's
not immediately obvious that this is a good fix for the issue you
describe.

Only reason for me to send this patch was that fact that 
_regmap_raw_write() also suffers from same issue as _regmap_raw_read(), 
which is "access beyond max_register".

Should I drop this patch?
Or
Adding similar check of max_register before the writing makes sense?

No, please go and reread your patch - neither your description above nor
the changelog match up with what it's actually doing.  It looks like a
perfectly sensible patch, it just doesn't do what you're saying it does.
