Hi,


I found a similar Double-Fetch bug in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c when I was examining the source code. 


In function i915_gem_pread_ioctl(), the driver check user space data by pointer data_ptr via access_ok() in line 694, and after run a while, in function shmem_pread_slow in line 657 or shmem_pread_fast in line 639, finally it use __copy_to_user with no check user space pointer.


If the args->data_ptr is modified by a user thread under race condition between the check and __copy_to_user operations, for example changing to a kernel address, this will lead to Arbitrary kernel address writing(caused by __copy_to_user() ).


I am looking forward to a reply on this, thank you!
