Subject: [PATCH 3/5] lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy()
Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 21:00:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180201180052.32643-3-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180201180052.32643-1-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>
strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads. So it may
may access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine
since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the
optimistic read won't cross a page boundary.
Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN.
Note that this potentially could hide some bugs. In example bellow,
stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes):
char dst[8];
char *src;
src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(src, 0xff, 5);
strscpy(dst, src, 8);
