Stanislav Fomichev says: ==================== optval larger than PAGE_SIZE leads to EFAULT if the BPF program isn't careful enough. This is often overlooked and might break completely unrelated socket options. Instead of EFAULT, let's ignore BPF program buffer changes. See the first patch for more info. In addition, clearly document this corner case and reset optlen in our selftests (in case somebody copy-pastes from them). v6: - no changes; resending due to screwing up v5 series with the unrelated patch v5: - goto in the selftest (Martin) - set IP_TOS to zero to avoid endianness complications (Martin) v4: - ignore retval as well when optlen > PAGE_SIZE (Martin) v3: - don't hard-code PAGE_SIZE (Martin) - reset orig_optlen in getsockopt when kernel part succeeds (Martin) ==================== Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
