When using a AIO read() operation on the function FS gadget driver a URB is
submitted asynchronously and on URB completion the received data is copied
to the userspace buffer associated with the read operation.
This is done from a kernel worker thread invoking copy_to_user() (through
copy_to_iter()). And while the user space process memory is made available
to the kernel thread using use_mm(), some architecture require in addition
to this that the operation runs with USER_DS set. Otherwise the userspace
memory access will fail.
For example on ARM64 with Privileged Access Never (PAN) and User Access
Override (UAO) enabled the following crash occurs.
Internal error: Accessing user space memory with fs=KERNEL_DS: 9600004f [#1] SMP

Address this by placing a set_fs(USER_DS) before of the copy operation
and revert it again once the copy operation has finished.
This patch is analogous to commit d7ffde35e3 ("vhost: use USER_DS in
vhost_worker thread") which addresses the same underlying issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
