From 4adcdcea717cb2d8436bef00dd689aa5bc76f11b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miles Chen Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2019 18:34:52 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/psi: Correct overly pessimistic size calculation When passing a equal or more then 32 bytes long string to psi_write(), psi_write() copies 31 bytes to its buf and overwrites buf[30] with '\0'. Which makes the input string 1 byte shorter than it should be. Fix it by copying sizeof(buf) bytes when nbytes >= sizeof(buf). This does not cause problems in normal use case like: "some 500000 10000000" or "full 500000 10000000" because they are less than 32 bytes in length. /* assuming nbytes == 35 */ char buf[32]; buf_size = min(nbytes, (sizeof(buf) - 1)); /* buf_size = 31 */ if (copy_from_user(buf, user_buf, buf_size)) return -EFAULT; buf[buf_size - 1] = '\0'; /* buf[30] = '\0' */ Before: %cd /proc/pressure/ %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory [ 22.473497] nbytes=35,buf_size=31 [ 22.473775] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory [ 64.916162] nbytes=32,buf_size=31 [ 64.916331] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument After: %cd /proc/pressure/ %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory [ 254.837863] nbytes=35,buf_size=32 [ 254.838541] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory [ 9965.714935] nbytes=32,buf_size=32 [ 9965.715096] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument Also remove the superfluous parentheses.
