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.
Fixes: bd61848900bf ("net: devmem: Implement TX path")

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).
