pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,
.extra1 = &pipe_min_size,
},
...
int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf,
size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
{
...
ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
...
and then later rounded in-place a few statements later:
...
pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size);
...
This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding
that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a
non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)
Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racey:
pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info()
pipe.c :: pipe_set_size()
Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() function that consolidates reading the
new value from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling
round_pipe_size() with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.
