Subject: [PATCH 7/7] lib/iov_iter: add missing should_fail_usercopy() in copy_to_user_iter_mc()
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:10:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313181038.30018-8-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313181038.30018-1-objecting@objecting.org>
When running fault injection tests (CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY)
against DAX/pmem read paths, the machine-check variant
copy_to_user_iter_mc() is not covered because it skips the
should_fail_usercopy() check that the normal copy_to_user_iter() has.
This means the dax_copy_to_iter() code path used for pmem reads cannot
be exercised by the usercopy fault injector, leaving a gap in test
coverage for a path that has its own distinct error handling (it must
not retry on #MC).
Found by auditing all copy_to_user/copy_from_user helper variants in
the file for consistent use of the fault injection hook and noticing
copy_to_user_iter_mc() was the only one without it.
Add the same should_fail_usercopy() check that copy_to_user_iter() has.
