[patch 22/87] futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jun 09 2009 - 06:21:29 EST


2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 64d1304a64477629cb16b75491a77bafe6f86963 upstream.

The futex code installs a read only mapping via get_user_pages_fast()
even if the futex op function has to modify user space data. The
eventual fault was fixed up by futex_handle_fault() which walked the
VMA with mmap_sem held.

After the cleanup patches which removed the mmap_sem dependency of the
futex code commit 4dc5b7a36a49eff97050894cf1b3a9a02523717 (futex:
clean up fault logic) removed the private VMA walk logic from the
futex code. This change results in a stale RO mapping which is not
fixed up.

Instead of reintroducing the previous fault logic we set up the
mapping in get_user_pages_fast() read/write for all operations which
modify user space data. Also handle private futexes in the same way
and make the current unconditional access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE) depend on
the futex op.
