commit f7e6b19bc76471ba03725fe58e0c218a3d6266c3 upstream. When doing a "write" ioctl call, properly check that we have permissions to do so before copying anything from userspace or anything else so we can "fail fast". This includes also covering the MEMWRITE ioctl which previously missed checking for this.

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.
