[PATCH v3] mm/mlock: fix two bugs in user_shm_lock()

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Mon Mar 21 2022 - 07:34:04 EST


user_shm_lock forgets to set allowed to 0 when get_ucounts fails. So the
later user_shm_unlock might do the extra dec_rlimit_ucounts. Also in the
RLIM_INFINITY case, user_shm_lock will success regardless of the value of
memlock where memblock == LONG_MAX && !capable(CAP_IPC_LOCK) should fail.
Fix all of these by changing the code to leave lock_limit at ULONG_MAX aka
RLIM_INFINITY, leave "allowed" initialized to 0 and remove the special case
of RLIM_INFINITY as nothing can be greater than ULONG_MAX.

Credit goes to Eric W. Biederman for proposing simplifying the code and
thus catching the later bug.

Fixes: d7c9e99aee48 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on top of ucounts")

v2->v3:
simplify the code and fix another bug per Eric. Thanks Eric for discussion.
drop Acked-by tag as the code changes. Sorry Hugh.
v1->v2:
correct Fixes tag and collect Acked-by tag.
Thanks Hugh for review!
