Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] uaccess: add copy_strtok_from_user
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:54:22 -0500	[thread overview]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-uaccess-add-copy_strtok_from_user.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6289 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The ftrace utility reads delimited tokens from user space.
Andrew Morton did not like how ftrace open coded this. He had
a good point since more than one location performed this feature.

This patch creates a copy_strtok_from_user function that can copy
a delimited token from user space. This puts the code in  the
lib/uaccess.c file. This keeps the code in a single location
and may be optimized in the future.

+ * copy_strtok_from_user - copy a delimited token from user space
+ * @to:	     The location to copy to
+ * @from:    The location to copy from
+ * @copy:    The number of bytes to copy
+ * @read:    The number of bytes to read
+ * @copied:  The number of bytes actually written to @to
+ * @delim:   NULL terminated string of character delimiters
+ *
+ * This reads from a user buffer, a delimited token.
+ * It places the token into @to if one is found, up to the number of
+ * bytes specified by @copy. It adds a "\0" terminating character
+ * into @to if a delimiter is found after the token. Otherwise the
+ * @to does not end with a \0 delimiter.
+ * If only delimiters are found, @to is not modified and
+ * @copied will be zero.
+ *
+ * It reads at most @read bytes from the user @from buffer, and
+ * will copy at most @copy bytes into the kernel @to buffer.
+ *
+ * Example of use:
+ *
+ *  in user space a write(fd, "foo  bar zot", 12) is done. We want to
+ *  read three words.
+ *
+ *  len = 12;  - length of user buffer
+ *  ret = copy_strtok_from_user(buf, ubuf, 100, len, @copied, " ");
+ *    ret will equal 3 ("foo" read - " " is also read but not counted.)
+ *    buf will contain "foo\0"
+ *    copied will equal 4 ("foo\0" written)
+ *
+ *  len -= ret;  - 3 bytes was read
+ *  read = ret;
+ *  ret = copy_strtok_from_user(buf, ubuf+read, 100, len, @copied, " ");
+ *    ret will equal 5 ("  bar" read, notice the double space between
+ *                       foo and bar in the original write.)
+ *    buf will contain "bar\0"
+ *    copied will equal 4 ("bar\0" written)
+ *
+ *  len -= ret; - 5 bytes read
+ *  read += ret;
+ *  ret = copy_strtok_from_user(buf, ubuf+read, 100, len, @copied, " ");
+ *   ret = 4 (" zot" read)
+ *   buf will contain "zot" (notice that it does not contain \0)
+ *   copied will equal 3 ("zot" written)
+ *   The buf only has "zot" because no terminating delimiter was
+ *   encountered.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ *  The number of bytes read from user space (@from). This may or may not
+ *  be the same as what was copied into @to.
+ *
+ *  if (@to[*@copied - 1] == '\0')
+ *        token ended with a delimiter
+ *  else
+ *        token in @from was not followed by a delimiter
+ *
+ *  @copied will contain the number of bytes written into @to.
+ *
+ *  Note, if the token that was found was bigger than @to,
+ *  @copied will equal copy, and @to[*@copied - 1] will not be '\0'
+ *
+ *  -EFAULT, if we faulted during any part of the copy.
+ *     @copied will be undefined.
