Linux kernel source tree

In _scif_prog_signal(), a DMA pool is allocated if the MIC Coprocessor is not X100, i.e., the boolean variable 'x100' is false. This DMA pool will be freed eventually through the callback function scif_prog_signal_cb() with the parameter of 'status', which actually points to the start of DMA pool. Specifically, in scif_prog_signal_cb(), the 'ep' field and the 'src_dma_addr' field of 'status' are used to free the DMA pool by invoking dma_pool_free(). Given that 'status' points to the start address of the DMA pool, both 'status->ep' and 'status->src_dma_addr' are in the DMA pool. And so, the device has the permission to access them. Even worse, a malicious device can modify them. As a result, dma_pool_free() will not succeed. To avoid the above issue, this patch introduces a new data structure, i.e., scif_cb_arg, to store the arguments required by the call back function. A variable 'cb_arg' is allocated in _scif_prog_signal() to pass the arguments. 'cb_arg' will be freed after dma_pool_free() in scif_prog_signal_cb().

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.
