commitdf325e05a6upstream. __range_ok(), invoked from access_ok(), clears the tag of the user address only if CONFIG_ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI is enabled and the thread opted in to the relaxed ABI. The latter sets the TIF_TAGGED_ADDR thread flag. In the case of asynchronous I/O (e.g. io_submit()), the access_ok() may be called from a kernel thread. Since kernel threads don't have TIF_TAGGED_ADDR set, access_ok() will fail for valid tagged user addresses. Example from the ffs_user_copy_worker() thread: use_mm(io_data->mm); ret = ffs_copy_to_iter(io_data->buf, ret, &io_data->data); unuse_mm(io_data->mm); Relax the __range_ok() check to always untag the user address if called in the context of a kernel thread. The user pointers would have already been checked via aio_setup_rw() -> import_{single_range,iovec}() at the time of the asynchronous I/O request.

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.
