This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original explanation: It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs. However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time, similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level PCI remapping routines. It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious reasons. and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes) in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc. Acked-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
