relayfs: fix out-of-bounds access in relay_file_read
There is a crash in relay_file_read, as the var from point to the end of last subbuf. The oops looks something like: pc : __arch_copy_to_user+0x180/0x310 lr : relay_file_read+0x20c/0x2c8 Call trace: __arch_copy_to_user+0x180/0x310 full_proxy_read+0x68/0x98 vfs_read+0xb0/0x1d0 ksys_read+0x6c/0xf0 __arm64_sys_read+0x20/0x28 el0_svc_common.constprop.3+0x84/0x108 do_el0_svc+0x74/0x90 el0_svc+0x1c/0x28 el0_sync_handler+0x88/0xb0 el0_sync+0x148/0x180 We get the condition by analyzing the vmcore: 1). The last produced byte and last consumed byte both at the end of the last subbuf 2). A softirq calls function(e.g __blk_add_trace) to write relay buffer occurs when an program is calling relay_file_read_avail(). relay_file_read relay_file_read_avail relay_file_read_consume(buf, 0, 0); //interrupted by softirq who will write subbuf .... return 1; //read_start point to the end of the last subbuf read_start = relay_file_read_start_pos //avail is equal to subsize avail = relay_file_read_subbuf_avail //from points to an invalid memory address from = buf->start + read_start //system is crashed copy_to_user(buffer, from, avail) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230419040203.37676-1-zhang.zhengming@h3c.com Fixes: 8d62fdebdaf9 ("relay file read: start-pos fix") Signed-off-by: Zhang Zhengming <zhang.zhengming@h3c.com> Reviewed-by: Zhao Lei <zhao_lei1@hoperun.com> Reviewed-by: Zhou Kete <zhou.kete@h3c.com> Reviewed-by: Pengcheng Yang <yangpc@wangsu.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
