2025-07-16vmci: Prevent the dispatching of uninitialized payloadsLizhi Xu
The reproducer executes the host's unlocked_ioctl call in two different tasks. When init_context fails, the struct vmci_event_ctx is not fully initialized when executing vmci_datagram_dispatch() to send events to all vm contexts. This affects the datagram taken from the datagram queue of its context by another task, because the datagram payload is not initialized according to the size payload_size, which causes the kernel data to leak to the user space. Before dispatching the datagram, and before setting the payload content, explicitly set the payload content to 0 to avoid data leakage caused by incomplete payload initialization. To avoid the oob check failure when executing __compiletime_lessthan() in memset(), directly use the address of the vmci_event_ctx instance ev to replace ev.msg.hdr, because their addresses are the same. Fixes: 28d6692cd8fb ("VMCI: context implementation.")

2025-07-03Revert "vmci: Prevent the dispatching of uninitialized payloads"Greg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit bfb4cf9fb97e4063f0aa62e9e398025fb6625031. While the code "looks" correct, the compiler has no way to know that doing "fun" pointer math like this really isn't a write off the end of the structure as there is no hint anywhere that the structure has data at the end of it. This causes the following build warning: In function 'fortify_memset_chk', inlined from 'ctx_fire_notification.isra' at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_context.c:254:3: include/linux/fortify-string.h:480:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning] 480 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So revert it for now and it can come back in the future in a "sane" way that either correctly makes the structure know that there is trailing data, OR just the payload structure is properly referenced and zeroed out.

2023-04-05misc: vmw_vmci: Rename kvfree_rcu() to kvfree_rcu_mightsleep()Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
The kvfree_rcu() macro's single-argument form is deprecated. Therefore switch to the new kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() variant. The goal is to avoid accidental use of the single-argument forms, which can introduce functionality bugs in atomic contexts and latency bugs in non-atomic contexts.

2022-04-24misc: vmw_vmci: replace usage of found with dedicated list iterator variableJakob Koschel
To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*() macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator variable after the loop body. To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was concluded to use a separate iterator variable instead of a found boolean [1]. This removes the need to use a found variable and simply checking if the variable was set, can determine if the break/goto was hit.

2019-06-21VMCI: Fix integer overflow in VMCI handle arraysVishnu DASA
The VMCI handle array has an integer overflow in vmci_handle_arr_append_entry when it tries to expand the array. This can be triggered from a guest, since the doorbell link hypercall doesn't impose a limit on the number of doorbell handles that a VM can create in the hypervisor, and these handles are stored in a handle array. In this change, we introduce a mandatory max capacity for handle arrays/lists to avoid excessive memory usage.

2017-02-27lib/vsprintf.c: remove %Z supportAlexey Dobriyan
Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z. Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller. Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers. In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which is in my opinion is quite an achievement. Hopefully this patch inspires someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.
