Subject: [PATCH 7.1 0184/2077] uaccess: fix ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user()
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 16:57:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721152557.023320054@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721152552.646164743@linuxfoundation.org>

7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>

[ Upstream commit 4911de3145a797389577abfdf9a5185d36cc18d7 ]

Currently all callers pass ignored_trailing=NULL, but I have
code that will make use of.

Now it actually behaves like documented:

* If @usize < @ksize, then the kernel is trying to pass userspace a newer
  struct than it supports. Thus we only copy the interoperable portions
  (@usize) and ignore the rest (but @ignored_trailing is set to %true if
  any of the trailing (@ksize - @usize) bytes are non-zero).

Fixes: 424a55a4a908 ("uaccess: add copy_struct_to_user helper")
