Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/mlx4: Do not allow the user to write to the clock page
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 19:11:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926111150.3197004-1-yaojiale02@163.com> (raw)
mlx4_ib_mmap() maps the internal clock page to userspace through
rdma_user_mmap_io(), which does not restrict write access. Userspace can
request PROT_WRITE directly, or upgrade a read-only mapping later with
mprotect() because VM_MAYWRITE remains set.
Reject VM_WRITE and clear VM_MAYWRITE, applying the same read-only policy
as commit c660133c339f ("RDMA/mlx5: Do not allow the user to write to the
clock page"). The rdma-core mlx4 provider requests this mapping with
PROT_READ, so its existing behavior is unchanged.
Fixes: 52033cfb5aab ("IB/mlx4: Add mmap call to map the hardware clock")
