ipc/mqueue: Only perform resource calculation if user valid
PATCH 1/1 ipc/mqueue: Only perform resource calculation if user valid
Andreas Christoforou reported:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/mqueue.c:414:49 signed integer overflow: 9 * 2305843009213693951 cannot be represented in type 'long int' ...

Which could be triggered by:
struct mq_attr attr = {
.mq_flags = 0,
.mq_maxmsg = 9,
.mq_msgsize = 0x1fffffffffffffff,
.mq_curmsgs = 0,
};
if (mq_open("/testing", 0x40, 3, &attr) == (mqd_t) -1)
perror("mq_open");mqueue_get_inode() was correctly rejecting the giant mq_msgsize, and preparing to return -EINVAL. During the cleanup, it calls mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all (which would indicate that the calculations would be sane). Instead, delay this check to after seeing a valid "user".
The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, and the fix makes things technically more efficient.

yes, yes, yes, yes and no. Compiler is quite capable of noticing that targets of assignments are unused outside of that if (user), so any mentioning of "technically more efficient" is somewhat ridiculous...
Just make that something along the lines of "results of these assignments are only used under if (user). Moreover, in case if info->user is NULL they might yield an integer overflow, confusing the fuzzers. The odds of any compiler letting nasal demons fly on that are pretty much nil, but it's cleaner to move these under if (user) anyway."
