[PATCH v2] drivers/tty/vt: use standard array-copy-functions

From: Philipp Stanner
Date: Fri Nov 03 2023 - 07:13:30 EST


tty/vt currently uses memdup_user() and vmemdup_array_user() to copy
userspace arrays.

Whereas there is no danger of overflowing, the call to vmemdup_user()
currently utilizes array_size() to calculate the array size
nevertheless. This is not useful because array_size() would return
SIZE_MAX and pass it to vmemdup_user() in case of (the impossible)
overflow.

string.h from the core-API now provides the wrappers memdup_array_user()
and vmemdup_array_user() to copy userspace arrays in a standardized
manner. Additionally, they also perform generic overflow-checks.

Use these wrappers to make it more obvious and readable that arrays are
being copied.

As we are at it, remove two unnecessary empty lines.

Changes in v2:
- Remove two empty lines from keyboard.c
- Rephrase the commit message completely to make it obvious that we're
not actually fixing a really possible overflow here. Emphasize the
commit being about unifying array-copying. (Al Viro)
