Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: devmem: reject dma-buf bind with non-page-aligned size or SG length
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 21:35:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519203530.66310-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() trusts dmabuf->size and sg_dma_len() to be
PAGE_SIZE multiples without checking:

  - tx_vec is sized dmabuf->size / PAGE_SIZE, and
    net_devmem_get_niov_at() only bounds-checks virt_addr < dmabuf->size
    before indexing tx_vec[virt_addr / PAGE_SIZE]. With size =
    N*PAGE_SIZE + r (1 <= r < PAGE_SIZE), sendmsg() at iov_base =
    N*PAGE_SIZE passes the bound check and reads tx_vec[N] -- one past.

  - owner->area.num_niovs = len / PAGE_SIZE while gen_pool_add_owner()
    covers the full byte len, so a non-page-multiple non-final sg
    desyncs num_niovs from the gen_pool region for every later sg, on
    both RX and TX.

dma-buf does not require page-aligned sizes, so the bind path has to
enforce what its own indexing assumes. Reject both with -EINVAL.

The size check is TX-only (only tx_vec is sized off dmabuf->size); the
SG-length check covers both directions.

Changes in v2:
  - Reframe commit message around the kernel-side OOB instead of
    "real exporters already page-align", which read as the OOB being
    unreachable and undercut Cc: stable (Stanislav Fomichev).
  - Hoist the SG-length check out of the if (TX) branch so it covers
    RX too; RX has the same num_niovs / gen_pool desync on a
    contract-violating exporter, just without an OOB. Keep the
    size-multiple check TX-only (Stanislav Fomichev).
  - Drop bool todevice; compare direction == DMA_TO_DEVICE inline to
    match the existing call site at the tx_vec[] assignment
    (Bobby Eshleman).
