[PATCH v4 23/23] bpf: Fail bpf_probe_write_user() while mm is switched
From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Mon Apr 22 2019 - 14:59:10 EST
From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx>
When using a temporary mm, bpf_probe_write_user() should not be able to
write to user memory, since user memory addresses may be used to map
kernel memory. Detect these cases and fail bpf_probe_write_user() in
such cases.
