From c45d78aac47db08bc8ea7641c5330cccaecd3ddb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adhemerval Zanella Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2017 18:02:20 -0200 Subject: posix: Fix generic p{read,write}v buffer allocation (BZ#22457) As described in BZ#22457 an interpose malloc can free an invalid pointer for fallback preadv implementation. Fortunately this is just and issue on microblaze-linux-gnu running kernels older than 3.15. This patch fixes it by calling mmap/unmap instead of posix_memalign/ free. Checked on microblaze-linux-gnu check with run-built-tests=no and by using the sysdeps/posix implementation on x86_64-linux-gnu (just for sanity test where it shown no regression). [BZ #22457] * sysdeps/posix/preadv_common.c (PREADV): Use mmap/munmap instead of posix_memalign/free. * sysdeps/posix/pwritev_common.c (PWRITEV): Likewise. --- sysdeps/posix/preadv_common.c | 8 +++++--- sysdeps/posix/pwritev_common.c | 8 +++++--- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'sysdeps/posix') diff --git a/sysdeps/posix/preadv_common.c b/sysdeps/posix/preadv_common.c index 37efdc0ec0..76cf261a5c 100644 --- a/sysdeps/posix/preadv_common.c +++ b/sysdeps/posix/preadv_common.c @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ #include #include +#include /* Read data from file descriptor FD at the given position OFFSET without change the file pointer, and put the result in the buffers @@ -54,8 +55,9 @@ PREADV (int fd, const struct iovec *vector, int count, OFF_T offset) but 1. it is system specific (not meant in generic implementation), and 2. it would make the implementation more complex, and 3. it will require another syscall (fcntl). */ - void *buffer = NULL; - if (__posix_memalign (&buffer, GLRO(dl_pagesize), bytes) != 0) + void *buffer = __mmap (NULL, bytes, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, + MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); + if (__glibc_unlikely (buffer == MAP_FAILED)) return -1; ssize_t bytes_read = PREAD (fd, buffer, bytes, offset); @@ -78,6 +80,6 @@ PREADV (int fd, const struct iovec *vector, int count, OFF_T offset) } end: - free (buffer); + __munmap (buffer, bytes); return bytes_read; } diff --git a/sysdeps/posix/pwritev_common.c b/sysdeps/posix/pwritev_common.c index 03830650e4..3528fd896b 100644 --- a/sysdeps/posix/pwritev_common.c +++ b/sysdeps/posix/pwritev_common.c @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ #include #include +#include /* Write data pointed by the buffers described by IOVEC, which is a vector of COUNT 'struct iovec's, to file descriptor FD at the given @@ -54,8 +55,9 @@ PWRITEV (int fd, const struct iovec *vector, int count, OFF_T offset) but 1. it is system specific (not meant in generic implementation), and 2. it would make the implementation more complex, and 3. it will require another syscall (fcntl). */ - void *buffer = NULL; - if (__posix_memalign (&buffer, GLRO(dl_pagesize), bytes) != 0) + void *buffer = __mmap (NULL, bytes, PROT_WRITE, + MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); + if (__glibc_unlikely (buffer == MAP_FAILED)) return -1; /* Copy the data from BUFFER into the memory specified by VECTOR. */ @@ -66,7 +68,7 @@ PWRITEV (int fd, const struct iovec *vector, int count, OFF_T offset) ssize_t ret = PWRITE (fd, buffer, bytes, offset); - free (buffer); + __munmap (buffer, bytes); return ret; } -- cgit v1.2.3
