<id>urn:sha1:95688f33cb29efe90bb31b61e5d604e60ed35498</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1c2eb5b2853c9f513690ba6b71072d8eb65da16a upstream.

The VMCI handle array has an integer overflow in
vmci_handle_arr_append_entry when it tries to expand the array. This can be
triggered from a guest, since the doorbell link hypercall doesn't impose a
limit on the number of doorbell handles that a VM can create in the
hypervisor, and these handles are stored in a handle array.

In this change, we introduce a mandatory max capacity for handle
arrays/lists to avoid excessive memory usage.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

<content type='text'>
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

<content type='text'>
When adding a VMCI resource, the check for an existing entry
would ignore that the new entry could be a wildcard. This could
result in multiple resource entries that would match a given
handle. One disastrous outcome of this is that the
refcounting used to ensure that delayed callbacks for VMCI
datagrams have run before the datagram is destroyed can be
wrong, since the refcount could be increased on the duplicate
entry. This in turn leads to a use after free bug. This issue
was discovered by Hangbin Liu using KASAN and syzkaller.

module.h already contains moduleparam.h,  so it is safe to remove
the redundant include.

The problem is that if get_user_pages_fast() fails and returns a
negative error code, it gets type promoted to a high positive value and
treated as a success.
