Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] liveupdate: fix GET_NAME ioctl argument validation
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 09:26:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716012607.22020-1-liu.yun@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Jackie Liu <liuyun01@kylinos.cn>

LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME was developed in the liveupdate/next branch
while the session type validation change was carried in liveupdate-fixes.
When the conflict between the two branches was resolved, the GET_NAME
operation descriptor picked up the structure and last member from
RETRIEVE_FD.

This makes both its known size and minimum size 16 bytes rather than 72.
A zero-initialized request still succeeds because luo_session_get_name()
writes the full name before luo_ucmd_respond() copies the full GET_NAME
response to userspace. However, copy_struct_from_user() treats the
output-only name field as unknown trailing data and rejects the request
with -E2BIG if any byte in that field is nonzero.

Use the GET_NAME structure and its name field in the descriptor.
