Subject: [PATCH 6.15 181/187] cifs: Fix the smbd_response slab to allow usercopy
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 15:45:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250722134352.509236048@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250722134345.761035548@linuxfoundation.org>
6.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
commit 43e7e284fc77b710d899569360ea46fa3374ae22 upstream.
The handling of received data in the smbdirect client code involves using
copy_to_iter() to copy data from the smbd_reponse struct's packet trailer
to a folioq buffer provided by netfslib that encapsulates a chunk of
pagecache.
If, however, CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y, this will result in the checks
then performed in copy_to_iter() oopsing with something like the following:
CIFS: Attempting to mount //172.31.9.1/test
CIFS: VFS: RDMA transport established
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'smbd_response_0000000091e24ea1' (offset 81, size 63)!
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!
...
RIP: 0010:usercopy_abort+0x6c/0x80
...
Call Trace:

The problem is that the smbd_response slab's packet field isn't marked as
being permitted for usercopy.
Fix this by passing parameters to kmem_slab_create() to indicate that
copy_to_iter() is permitted from the packet region of the smbd_response
slab objects, less the header space.
