Right. The find_vma() interface is not clear by the function name;
returning a VMA that doesn't include the address of interest is unclear.
I think this is why we ended up with the bug in the first place.

swp_handler() is also buggy. It is currently getting the ACCERR as long
as the address being checked is > mm->highest_vm_end. If access_ok()
fails, it should return ACCERR and not search VMAs for the address at
all.

Ditto for sys_rt_sigreturn() and sys_sigreturn(), they both suffer the
same bug as swp_handler() outlined above.

In the case of restore_sigframe() or restore_altstack() failing, it
seems that the signal shouldn't be dependent on where the address falls
within the VMA at all. Should the signal still be SIGSEGV or something
else? By the comments, I would have thought SIGBUS, si_code of
BUS_ADRALN?

Indeed, there seems to be a few code paths that need to skip this
function all together and just set the code to ACCERR - especially since
the access_ok() just validates the number itself.

I don't think the right answer is to rewrite the function to check
VM_GROWSDOWN, as I cannot see a way to reach this function when trying
to expand the stack which should report back ACCERR. Do you agree?

I also see that my fix would expose other bugs which need to be
addressed at the same time.

Okay, thanks for clarifying.


Cheers,
