** Description changed: + Reading /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid no longer works in 5.7+ kernels upwards. The Fix: commit 7de4c88b39473f358add601e8c227ca9002b1bee Author: наб <[email protected]> Date: Sun Apr 11 01:18:40 2021 +0200 - linux/spl: base proc_dohostid() on proc_dostring() - - This fixes /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid on kernels with mainline commit - 32927393dc1ccd60fb2bdc05b9e8e88753761469 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers - to ->proc_handler") ‒ 5.7-rc1 and up - - The access_ok() check in copy_to_user() in proc_copyout_string() would - always fail, so all userspace reads and writes would fail with EINVAL - - proc_dostring() strips only the final new-line, - but simple_strtoul() doesn't actually need a back-trimmed string ‒ - writing "012345678 \n" is still allowed, as is "012345678zupsko", &c. - - This alters what happens when an invalid value is written ‒ - previously it'd get set to what-ever simple_strtoul() returned - (probably 0, thereby resetting it to default), now it does nothing - - Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> - Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <[email protected]> - Closes #11878 - Closes #11879 + linux/spl: base proc_dohostid() on proc_dostring() + + This fixes /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid on kernels with mainline commit + 32927393dc1ccd60fb2bdc05b9e8e88753761469 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers + to ->proc_handler") ‒ 5.7-rc1 and up + + The access_ok() check in copy_to_user() in proc_copyout_string() would + always fail, so all userspace reads and writes would fail with EINVAL + + proc_dostring() strips only the final new-line, + but simple_strtoul() doesn't actually need a back-trimmed string ‒ + writing "012345678 \n" is still allowed, as is "012345678zupsko", &c. + + This alters what happens when an invalid value is written ‒ + previously it'd get set to what-ever simple_strtoul() returned + (probably 0, thereby resetting it to default), now it does nothing + + Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> + Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <[email protected]> + Closes #11878 + Closes #11879
