net_sched: reject TCF_EM_SIMPLE case for complex ematch module
When TCF_EM_SIMPLE was introduced, it is supposed to be convenient for ematch implementation: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20050105110048.GO26856@postel.suug.ch/ "You don't have to, providing a 32bit data chunk without TCF_EM_SIMPLE set will simply result in allocating & copy. It's an optimization, nothing more." So if an ematch module provides ops->datalen that means it wants a complex data structure (saved in its em->data) instead of a simple u32 value. We should simply reject such a combination, otherwise this u32 could be misinterpreted as a pointer. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+4caeae4c7103813598ae@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reported-by: Jun Nie <jun.nie@linaro.org> Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Cc: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <cong.wang@bytedance.com> Acked-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
