arm64: Validate tagged addresses in access_ok() called from kernel threads commit df325e05a682e9c624f471835c35bd3f870d5e8c upstream. __range_ok(), invoked from access_ok(), clears the tag of the user address only if CONFIG_ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI is enabled and the thread opted in to the relaxed ABI. The latter sets the TIF_TAGGED_ADDR thread flag. In the case of asynchronous I/O (e.g. io_submit()), the access_ok() may be called from a kernel thread. Since kernel threads don't have TIF_TAGGED_ADDR set, access_ok() will fail for valid tagged user addresses. Example from the ffs_user_copy_worker() thread: use_mm(io_data->mm); ret = ffs_copy_to_iter(io_data->buf, ret, &io_data->data); unuse_mm(io_data->mm); Relax the __range_ok() check to always untag the user address if called in the context of a kernel thread. The user pointers would have already been checked via aio_setup_rw() -> import_{single_range,iovec}() at the time of the asynchronous I/O request.
