From a8bd29bd49c4156ea0ec5a97812333e2aeef44e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Krzysztof=20Wilczy=C5=84ski?= Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2021 23:37:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Return ~0 data on pciconfig_read() CAP_SYS_ADMIN failure MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The pciconfig_read() syscall reads PCI configuration space using hardware-dependent config accessors. If the read fails on PCI, most accessors don't return an error; they pretend the read was successful and got ~0 data from the device, so the syscall returns success with ~0 data in the buffer. When the accessor does return an error, pciconfig_read() normally fills the user's buffer with ~0 and returns an error in errno. But after e4585da22ad0 ("pci syscall.c: Switch to refcounting API"), we don't fill the buffer with ~0 for the EPERM "user lacks CAP_SYS_ADMIN" error. Userspace may rely on the ~0 data to detect errors, but after e4585da22ad0, that would not detect CAP_SYS_ADMIN errors. Restore the original behaviour of filling the buffer with ~0 when the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check fails.
