The copy_mount_options() function takes a user pointer argument but no size and it tries to read up to a PAGE_SIZE. However, copy_from_user() is not guaranteed to return all the accessible bytes if, for example, the access crosses a page boundary and gets a fault on the second page. To work around this, the current copy_mount_options() implementation performs two copy_from_user() passes, first to the end of the current page and the second to what's left in the subsequent page. On arm64 with MTE enabled, access to a user page may trigger a fault after part of the buffer in a page has been copied (when the user pointer tag, bits 56-59, no longer matches the allocation tag stored in memory). Allow copy_mount_options() to handle such intra-page faults by resorting to byte at a time copy in case of copy_from_user() failure. Note that copy_from_user() handles the zeroing of the kernel buffer in case of error. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

README
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.
