[PATCH v3 00/11] Improve the copy of task comm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Using {memcpy,strncpy,strcpy,kstrdup} to copy the task comm relies on the
length of task comm. Changes in the task comm could result in a destination
string that is overflow. Therefore, we should explicitly ensure the destination
string is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the task comm. This approach
will facilitate future extensions to the task comm.

As suggested by Linus [0], we can identify all relevant code with the
following git grep command:

  git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'kstrdup.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'strncpy.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'strcpy.*->comm\>'

PATCH #2~#4:   memcpy
PATCH #5~#6:   kstrdup
PATCH #7~#9:   strncpy
PATCH #10~#11: strcpy
