Subject: mips: sched: Fix CPUMASK_OFFSTACK memory corruption
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=98e37db4a34d3af3fb2f4648295c25b5e40b20e3;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

mips: sched: Fix CPUMASK_OFFSTACK memory corruption

This patch addresses a critical memory management flaw. When
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled, cpumask_var_t is a pointer.
Consequently, sizeof(new_mask) evaluates to the pointer size, causing
copy_from_user() to clobber the mask pointer. Furthermore, the old
logic performed copy_from_user() before allocating the mask.

Fix this by allocating new_mask first. To handle variable-sized user
masks correctly, use cpumask_size() to truncate overly large user masks
or pad undersized masks with zeros before copying the data directly into
the allocated buffer.

Fixes: 295cbf6d63165 ("[MIPS] Move FPU affinity code into separate file.")
