From commit 068a0df76023926af958a336a78bef60468d2033
"[media] media: vb2: add length check for mmap"
patch verifies that the mmap() size requested by userspace
doesn't exceed the buffer size.

As the mmap() size is rounded up to the next page boundary
the check will fail for buffer sizes that are not multiple
of the page size.

This patch fixes the check by aligning the buffer size to page
size during the check. Alongside fixes the vmalloc allocator
to round up the size.

That is tricky, as it assumes that vb->v4l2_planes[plane].length was round
up to PAGE_SIZE at each memops driver, but the vb2 core doesn't enforce it.

IMO, it would be cleaner to round vb->v4l2_planes[plane].length up
at VB2 core, before calling the memops alloc functions at the drivers.

I don't think we should round vb->v4l2_planes[plane].length up. That variable
stores the buffer length required by the driver, and will be used to perform
size checks when importing a dmabuf buffer. We don't want to prevent a buffer
large enough for the driver but not page size aligned to be imported.

What we could do is round in the core the size passed to the alloc function,
without storing the rounded value in vb->v4l2_planes[plane].length.

And, reading down, I realize that this is exactly what you meant :-)

Yes. Touching at .length would have side effects, but touching at
buffer's .size seem ok and VB2 dma contig code already does that
with the current code.

The proposed patch looks good to me.

Good.

Also, VB2 is already complex enough to put it there without proper
comments (and there's a minor codingstyle issue there: line is bigger
than 80 cols).

A comment is definitely a good idea.

See? You needed to put an alignment here as well, not because vmalloc
needs it, but because this is needed by VB2 core.

Also, on the other drivers, buf->size is stored page aligned, while
here, you're doing different, without any documented reason for doing
that, instead of doing the same as on the other memops drivers.

That mistake reflects, for example, when the driver prints the failure:

if (!buf->vaddr) {
pr_debug("vmalloc of size %ld failed\n", buf->size);

as it will show a different size than what you actually required.
As those memory starving errors can also produce a dump at the mm
core, the size there won't match the size on the above printed message.

Also, it is a very bad idea to delegate the core's requirement of
do page alignment from the core to the memops drivers, as other
patches may change the logic there, or a new memops could be added,
and the same problem will hit again (and unnoticed, as the check
routine do page alignments).

Agreed. The memory allocator shouldn't need to guess the core requirements.

buf->handler.refcount = &buf->refcount;
buf->handler.put = vb2_vmalloc_put;
buf->handler.arg = buf;

IMO, a cleaner version would be the following (untested) code.

[media] videobuf2: fix the length check for mmap

Memory maps typically require that the buffer size to be page
aligned. Currently, two memops drivers do such alignment
internally, but videobuf-vmalloc doesn't.

Also, the buffer overflow check doesn't take it into account.

So, instead of doing it at each memops driver, enforce it at
VB2 core.
