Subject: [PATCH 5.3 212/344] sched/psi: Correct overly pessimistic size calculation
Date: Thu,  3 Oct 2019 17:52:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191003154601.206292517@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191003154540.062170222@linuxfoundation.org>

[ Upstream commit 4adcdcea717cb2d8436bef00dd689aa5bc76f11b ]

When passing a equal or more then 32 bytes long string to psi_write(),
psi_write() copies 31 bytes to its buf and overwrites buf[30]
with '\0'. Which makes the input string 1 byte shorter than
it should be.

Fix it by copying sizeof(buf) bytes when nbytes >= sizeof(buf).

This does not cause problems in normal use case like:
"some 500000 10000000" or "full 500000 10000000" because they
are less than 32 bytes in length.

	/* assuming nbytes == 35 */
	char buf[32];

	buf_size = min(nbytes, (sizeof(buf) - 1)); /* buf_size = 31 */
	if (copy_from_user(buf, user_buf, buf_size))
		return -EFAULT;

	buf[buf_size - 1] = '\0'; /* buf[30] = '\0' */

Before:

 %cd /proc/pressure/
 %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory
 [   22.473497] nbytes=35,buf_size=31
 [   22.473775] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars)
 %sh: write error: Invalid argument

 %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory
 [   64.916162] nbytes=32,buf_size=31
 [   64.916331] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars)
 %sh: write error: Invalid argument

After:

 %cd /proc/pressure/
 %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory
 [  254.837863] nbytes=35,buf_size=32
 [  254.838541] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars)
 %sh: write error: Invalid argument

 %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory
 [ 9965.714935] nbytes=32,buf_size=32
 [ 9965.715096] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars)
 %sh: write error: Invalid argument

Also remove the superfluous parentheses.
