Seriously, this just gives any random user access to user defined amount of memory which not accounted, not reclaimable and a potential consumer of any higher order blocks. Besides that, at least one show_smap output will always fit inside the single page and AFAIR (it's been quite a while since I've looked into seq_file internals) the buffer grows only when the single show doesn't fit in. > if (!priv) > return -ENOMEM; > > priv->inode = inode; > - priv->mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ); > - if (IS_ERR(priv->mm)) { > - int err = PTR_ERR(priv->mm); > - > - seq_release_private(inode, file); > - return err; > - } > + priv->mm = mm; > > return 0; > } > @@ -721,6 +723,25 @@ void __weak arch_show_smap(struct seq_file *m, struct vm_area_struct *vma) > { > } > > +static void show_val_kb(struct seq_file *m, const char *s, unsigned long num) > +{ > + char v[32]; > + static const char blanks[7] = {' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' '}; > + int len; > + > + len = num_to_str(v, sizeof(v), num >> 10); > + > + seq_write(m, s, 16); > + > + if (len > 0) { > + if (len < 8) > + seq_write(m, blanks, 8 - len); > + > + seq_write(m, v, len); > + } > + seq_write(m, " kB\n", 4); > +} > + I really do not understand why you insist on code duplication rather than reuse but if you really insist then just make this (without the above __seq_open_private_bufsize, re-measure and add the results to the changelog and repost. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
