Subject: [PATCH RFC 15/16] proc: let procfs copy ioctl arguments in and out
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2026 15:48:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102-work-procfs-core-v1-15-75df35e4f8b8@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102-work-procfs-core-v1-0-75df35e4f8b8@kernel.org>

proc_reg_unlocked_ioctl() pins the entry and calls ->proc_ioctl() which
copies its argument from and to userspace itself. Like for reads and
writes, an ioctl can make a page fault in those copies take as long as
it wants and remove_proc_entry() waits for it.

The command number doesn't reliably say what an ioctl copies. Some of
the procfs ones aren't encoded at all, like the PCI ones or esas2r's,
and i8k's encode the wrong sizes. So do what DRM does instead and list
what each command copies. An entry that implements ->proc_ioctl_buf()
lists its commands in ->proc_ioctl_args with the number of bytes that
go in and that come back out. procfs copies the argument in before it
pins the entry, calls ->proc_ioctl_buf() with that kernel copy and
copies it back out after unpinning the entry if the ioctl succeeded. A
command that copies neither gets its argument as is, a command that
isn't in the table fails with -ENOTTY. PROC_IOCTL_IOC() fills in an
entry from a command that encodes its argument.

Note that, like for writes, procfs copies the argument in before the
entry's own checks run, permission checks included. So a bad pointer
fails with -EFAULT where the entry used to say -EPERM first.

The table lives with the proc_ops, which go away with the entry, so
procfs pins the entry to look the command up and lets go of it again
before it copies anything. 32-bit tasks go through the same table with
their pointer converted by compat_ptr(). An entry that implements
->proc_ioctl_buf() and still has a ->proc_ioctl() fails to register, and
so does one that lists commands without implementing it or implements
it without listing any.

No users yet.
