Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/7] net: cap sockopt_expand_out() at MAX_RW_COUNT
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:05:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015-sockopt_expand_out_v2-v3-2-7d05ef2df448@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015-sockopt_expand_out_v2-v3-0-7d05ef2df448@debian.org>
sockopt_expand_out() grows the output iterator up to INT_MAX, but the
MCAST_MSFILTER getters converted by the next two patches rewind it with
iov_iter_revert() once they know the real reply size. iov_iter_revert()
refuses to unroll past MAX_RW_COUNT:
if (WARN_ON(unroll > MAX_RW_COUNT))
return;
MAX_RW_COUNT is INT_MAX rounded down to a page boundary, so a caller
that expands into the (MAX_RW_COUNT, INT_MAX] range and then reverts
hits that WARN_ON, and the iterator is left where it was instead of
rewound. So does a caller whose optlen already covers such a size.
Cap the size at MAX_RW_COUNT instead, before the early return for an
optlen that already covers it, so a size that could never be reverted
later is rejected up front.
Sashiko found this while reviewing the conversions.
