pipe: add proc_dopipe_max_size() to safely assign pipe_max_size
pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl: static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = { ... { .procname = "pipe-max-size", .data = &pipe_max_size, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn, .extra1 = &pipe_min_size, }, ... int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos) ... and then later rounded in-place a few statements later: ... pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size); ... This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.) Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racy: pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info() pipe.c :: pipe_set_size() Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() that consolidates reading the new value from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling round_pipe_size() with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.
