Hi,
I haven't seen any response to this patch which fixes an Oops in
d_revalidate. I hit this using NFS, but various other file
systems look to be likewise vulnerable, hence the broadness of
the patch. The sequence leading to the Oops is:
lookup_one_len() [fs/namei.c]
calls __lookup_hash() [fs/namei.c] with nd == NULL,
which can then call the file system specific d_revalidate(), passing in nd == NULL
which will then Oops if nd is used without checking
Any suggestions on how to better bring this to the attention of
the relevant people? E.g. be patient, and/or provide separate
patches for each file system, and/or provide a better
explanation of the issue in the patch?
Note: in the patch version provided I missed the d_revalidate for
NFSv4, I'll respin that once I can get an idea of how to better
provide the patches.
Cheers,
Chris.
