Subject[PATCH] Revert "drivers: char: mem: Check {read,write}_kmem() addresses"
Date
This reverts commit 148a1bc84398039e2b96ff78678c4d9a67f81452.

This commit was intended to fix a problem, but it did not do so
correctly, resulting in /dev/kmem being entirely broken. So, revert this
commit until a different solution is found. The following PoC shows
breakage bisecting to this commit. On working systems, it returns 0 and
prints the last message. On broken systems containing this commit, it
exits returning EIO.

FILE *f;

struct sockaddr_in saddr = { .sin_family = AF_INET, .sin_port = 55193 };

sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
if (sock < 0) {
perror("socket");
return errno;
}
if (bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&saddr, sizeof(saddr)) < 0) {
perror("bind");
return errno;
}
f = fopen("/proc/net/udp", "r");
if (!f) {
perror("fopen(/proc/net/udp)");
return errno;
}
if (!fgets(line, 256, f) || !fgets(line, 256, f)) {
perror("fgets");
return errno;
}
fclose(f);
ptr = line + strlen(line) - 1;
while (*--ptr == ' ');
while (*--ptr != ' ');
while (*(--ptr - 1) != ' ');
addr = strtoul(ptr, NULL, 16);

printf("Attempting to read from skbuff at 0x%lx\n", addr);

fd = open("/dev/kmem", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open(/dev/kmem)");
return errno;
}
if (lseek(fd, addr, SEEK_SET) == (off_t)-1) {
perror("lseek");
return errno;
}
if (read(fd, &addr, sizeof(addr)) != sizeof(addr)) {
perror("read");
return errno;
}

printf("It worked, reading the value %lx!\n", addr);
close(fd);
close(sock);
return 0;
}
