Subject: [PATCH v2] PCI/proc: check user access return values in proc_bus_pci_{read,write}()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


proc_bus_pci_write() ignores the return value of __get_user(). On a
faulting user pointer the extable fixup zeros the destination, and the
function writes those zeros to PCI configuration space.

syzbot triggers this with writev()-ing a NULL iov_base to
/proc/bus/pci/00/03.0 (the virtio-blk controller in the syzkaller VM):
zero is written to the Command register, clearing Bus Master Enable,
and the disk stops responding. In-flight journal writes never complete
and jbd2 hangs in wait_on_buffer() indefinitely:

  INFO: task jbd2/sda1-8 blocked in I/O wait for more than 143 seconds.
   __wait_on_buffer fs/buffer.c:123
   jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0x388a/0x6870 fs/jbd2/commit.c:837
   kjournald2 fs/jbd2/journal.c:201

proc_bus_pci_read() has the symmetric problem with __put_user(): a
faulting user pointer silently drops config-space data and returns
success.

Switch both functions to get_user()/put_user(), which combine the
access_ok() check with the load/store and return -EFAULT on failure.
The up-front access_ok() can be removed accordingly. On error, jump to
a common label that releases the runtime-PM reference and returns
-EFAULT.

Changes in v2:
 - Use get_user()/put_user() and drop access_ok() (Krzysztof)
 - Rename label to err: per kernel convention (Krzysztof)
 - Simplify error path to release runtime-PM and return -EFAULT (Krzysztof)
 - Apply the same fix to proc_bus_pci_read() (Krzysztof)
