Hi Jerry and Dan,
Sorry for the late reply. I looked at this issue again and found
that simple patches like memcmp(buf, in_env, in_len) &&
memcmp(buf + in_len, out_env, out_len) will only work
in the case of (cmd == ND_CMD_CALL) and does not apply
to other cmd.
In fact, I fail to find a patch
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for the question. Yes, these double copies
do seem to present an issue.
__nd_ioctl() and acpi_nfit_ctl() both use the same way
to derive `out_size`, but based on different data fetches.
A simple patch would be
memcmp(buf, in_env, in_len)
memcmp(buf + in_len, out_env, out_len

Hi Dan,
I have adjusted the patch as suggested by moving the check
on nd_reserved2 to acpi_nfit_ctl(). The new patch can be found
at https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=150453930712916&w=2
Best Regards,
Meng
