In comedi_fops, mmap_count is decremented at comedi_vm_ops->close but it is not incremented at comedi_vm_ops->open. This may result in a negative counter. The patch introduces the open method to keep the counter consistent. The bug was triggerd by this sample code: mmap(0, ...., comedi_fd); fork(); exit(0); Acked-by: Alessandro Rubini <rubini@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c b/drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c index 21d8c1c..173242c 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c +++ b/drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c @@ -1432,7 +1432,21 @@ static int do_cancel(struct comedi_device *dev, struct comedi_subdevice *s) return ret; } -static void comedi_unmap(struct vm_area_struct *area) + +static void comedi_vm_open(struct vm_area_struct *area) +{ + struct comedi_async *async; + struct comedi_device *dev; + + async = area->vm_private_data; + dev = async->subdevice->device; + + mutex_lock(&dev->mutex); + async->mmap_count++; + mutex_unlock(&dev->mutex); +} + +static void comedi_vm_close(struct vm_area_struct *area) { struct comedi_async *async; struct comedi_device *dev; @@ -1446,7 +1460,8 @@ static void comedi_unmap(struct vm_area_struct *area) } static struct vm_operations_struct comedi_vm_ops = { - .close = comedi_unmap, + .open = comedi_vm_open, + .close = comedi_vm_close, }; static int comedi_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma) -- 1.5.6.5 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
