Subject: [PATCH] params: bound array element output to the caller's page buffer
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 15:50:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417075042.26632-1-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
param_array_get() appends each element's string representation into the
shared sysfs page buffer by passing buffer + off to the element getter.
That works for getters that only write a small bounded string, but
param_get_charp() and similar helpers format against PAGE_SIZE from the
pointer they receive. Once off is non-zero, an element getter can
therefore write past the end of the original sysfs page buffer.
Collect each element into a temporary PAGE_SIZE buffer first and then
copy only the remaining space into the caller's page buffer.
Fixes: 9bbb9e5a3310 ("param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directly")
