[PATCH v2 4/5] kunit: make kunit_kfree() not segfault on invalid inputs

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

 



kunit_kfree() can only work on data ("resources") allocated by KUnit.

Currently for code like this,
> void *ptr = kmalloc(4, GFP_KERNEL);
> kunit_kfree(test, ptr);
kunit_kfree() will segfault.

It'll try and look up the kunit_resource associated with `ptr` and get a
NULL back, but it won't check for this. This means we also segfault if
you double-free.

Change kunit_kfree() so it'll notice these invalid pointers and respond
by failing the test.

Implementation: kunit_destroy_resource() does what kunit_kfree() does,
but is more generic and returns -ENOENT when it can't find the resource.
Sadly, unlike just letting it crash, this means we don't get a stack
trace. But kunit_kfree() is so infrequently used it shouldn't be hard to
track down the bad callsite anyways.

After this change, the above code gives:
> # example_simple_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/kunit/test.c:702
> kunit_kfree: 00000000626ec200 already freed or not allocated by kunit
