This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled RDMA/cxgb4: Add missing padding at end of struct c4iw_create_cq_resp to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.27. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 15bd14a2922bc887a079b503231be03712c05b8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yann Droneaud <ydroneaud@opteya.com> Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 19:33:23 +0200 Subject: RDMA/cxgb4: Add missing padding at end of struct c4iw_create_cq_resp commit b6f04d3d21458818073a2f5af5339f958864bf71 upstream. The i386 ABI disagrees with most other ABIs regarding alignment of data types larger than 4 bytes: on most ABIs a padding must be added at end of the structures, while it is not required on i386. So for most ABI struct c4iw_create_cq_resp gets implicitly padded to be aligned on a 8 bytes multiple, while for i386, such padding is not added. The tool pahole can be used to find such implicit padding: $ pahole --anon_include \ --nested_anon_include \ --recursive \ --class_name c4iw_create_cq_resp \ drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/iw_cxgb4.o Then, structure layout can be compared between i386 and x86_64: +++ obj-i386/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/iw_cxgb4.o.pahole.txt 2014-03-28 11:43:05.547432195 +0100 --- obj-x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/iw_cxgb4.o.pahole.txt 2014-03-28 10:55:10.990133017 +0100 @@ -14,9 +13,8 @@ struct c4iw_create_cq_resp { __u32 size; /* 28 4 */ __u32 qid_mask; /* 32 4 */ - /* size: 36, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */ - /* last cacheline: 36 bytes */ + /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */ + /* padding: 4 */ + /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ }; This ABI disagreement will make an x86_64 kernel try to write past the buffer provided by an i386 binary. When boundary check will be implemented, the x86_64 kernel will refuse to write past the i386 userspace provided buffer and the uverbs will fail. If the structure is on a page boundary and the next page is not mapped, ib_copy_to_udata() will fail and the uverb will fail. This patch adds an explicit padding at end of structure c4iw_create_cq_resp, and, like 92b0ca7cb149 ("IB/mlx5: Fix stack info leak in mlx5_ib_alloc_ucontext()"), makes function c4iw_create_cq() not writting this padding field to userspace. This way, x86_64 kernel will be able to write struct c4iw_create_cq_resp as expected by unpatched and patched i386 libcxgb4.
