Kees Cook cf0d7e7f45 NFS: Avoid memcpy() run-time warning for struct sockaddr overflows
The 'nfs_server' and 'mount_server' structures include a union of
'struct sockaddr' (with the older 16 bytes max address size) and
'struct sockaddr_storage' which is large enough to hold all the
supported sa_family types (128 bytes max size). The runtime memcpy()
buffer overflow checker is seeing attempts to write beyond the 16
bytes as an overflow, but the actual expected size is that of 'struct
sockaddr_storage'. Plumb the use of 'struct sockaddr_storage' more
completely through-out NFS, which results in adjusting the memcpy()
buffers to the correct union members. Avoids this false positive run-time
warning under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 28) of single field "&ctx->nfs_server.address" at fs/nfs/namespace.c:178 (size 16)

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.
