Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/8] sg_new_write(): don't bother with access_ok
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2019 20:39:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191017193925.25539-5-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191017193925.25539-1-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
... just use copy_from_user(). We copy only SZ_SG_IO_HDR bytes,
so that would, strictly speaking, loosen the check. However,
for call chains via ->write() the caller has actually checked
the entire range and SG_IO passes exactly SZ_SG_IO_HDR for count.
So no visible behaviour changes happen if we check only what
we really need for copyin.
