splice: don't merge into linked buffers
commit a0ce2f0 upstream. Before this patch, it was possible for two pipes to affect each other after data had been transferred between them with tee(): ============ $ cat tee_test.c int main(void) { int pipe_a[2]; if (pipe(pipe_a)) err(1, "pipe"); int pipe_b[2]; if (pipe(pipe_b)) err(1, "pipe"); if (write(pipe_a[1], "abcd", 4) != 4) err(1, "write"); if (tee(pipe_a[0], pipe_b[1], 2, 0) != 2) err(1, "tee"); if (write(pipe_b[1], "xx", 2) != 2) err(1, "write"); char buf[5]; if (read(pipe_a[0], buf, 4) != 4) err(1, "read"); buf[4] = 0; printf("got back: '%s'\n", buf); } $ gcc -o tee_test tee_test.c $ ./tee_test got back: 'abxx' $ ============ As suggested by Al Viro, fix it by creating a separate type for non-mergeable pipe buffers, then changing the types of buffers in splice_pipe_to_pipe() and link_pipe(). Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Fixes: 7c77f0b ("splice: implement pipe to pipe splicing") Fixes: 7052449 ("[PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()") Suggested-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
