From 118326e940bdecef6c459d42ccf05256ba86daa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Osterlund Date: Sat, 14 May 2005 00:58:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix root hole in pktcdvd ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel. If the "arg" argument refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev). This works on i386 because even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with put_user/get_user. That is not true for s390. In short the ioctl implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken.
