Alice Ryhl 20a01f20d1 rust_binder: check ownership before using vma 
commit 8ef2c15aea upstream.

When installing missing pages (or zapping them), Rust Binder will look
up the vma in the mm by address, and then call vm_insert_page (or
zap_page_range_single). However, if the vma is closed and replaced with
a different vma at the same address, this can lead to Rust Binder
installing pages into the wrong vma.

By installing the page into a writable vma, it becomes possible to write
to your own binder pages, which are normally read-only. Although you're
not supposed to be able to write to those pages, the intent behind the
design of Rust Binder is that even if you get that ability, it should not
lead to anything bad. Unfortunately, due to another bug, that is not the
case.

To fix this, store a pointer in vm_private_data and check that the vma
returned by vma_lookup() has the right vm_ops and vm_private_data before
trying to use the vma. This should ensure that Rust Binder will refuse
to interact with any other VMA. The plan is to introduce more vma
abstractions to avoid this unsafe access to vm_ops and vm_private_data,
but for now let's start with the simplest possible fix.

C Binder performs the same check in a slightly different way: it
provides a vm_ops->close that sets a boolean to true, then checks that
boolean after calling vma_lookup(), but this is more fragile
than the solution in this patch. (We probably still want to do both, but
the vm_ops->close callback will be added later as part of the follow-up
vma API changes.)

It's still possible to remap the vma so that pages appear in the right
vma, but at the wrong offset, but this is a separate issue and will be
fixed when Rust Binder gets a vm_ops->close callback.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
