[PATCH] dlm: add usercopy whitelist to dlm_cb cache
From: Ziyi Guo
Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 22:43:10 EST
The dlm_cb slab cache is created with kmem_cache_create(), which
provides no usercopy whitelist. When a callback carries LVB data,
dlm_user_add_ast() copies the LVB into the inline lvbptr[] array within
the slab-allocated struct dlm_callback and redirects ua->lksb.sb_lvbptr
to point to it. copy_result_to_user() then calls copy_to_user() with
this pointer. With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY enabled, this triggers
usercopy_abort().
Switch to kmem_cache_create_usercopy() with a whitelist covering the
lvbptr field.
