Subject: [PATCH] fs: fcntl_setlease defies lease_init assumptions
Date: Mon, 08 May 2006 01:21:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <445E80DD.9090507@hozac.com> (raw)
fcntl_setlease uses a struct file_lock on the stack to find the
file_lock it's actually looking for. The problem with this approach is
that lease_init will attempt to free the file_lock if the arg argument
is invalid, causing kmem_cache_free to be called with the address of the
on-stack file_lock.
After running the following test-case, it doesn't take long for an i686
machine running 2.6.16.13 to stop responding completely.
2.6.17-rc3-git12 shows similar results, although it takes a bit more
activity before crashing.
Björn Steinbrink also identified a slab leak in the same piece of code,
caused by the fasync_helper call which will allocate a new slab every
time because it uses the wrong structure (the one on the stack) when the
a lease on that file already exists.
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void die(const char *msg)
{
perror(msg);
exit(1);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
if (argc == 1)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s file\n", argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
if (fd == -1)
die("open()");
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_RDLCK) == -1)
die("setlease(RDLCK)");
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_RDLCK) == -1)
die("setlease(RDLCK2)");
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, 5) == -1)
die("setlease(invalid)");
close(fd);
return 0;
}
