Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !. If the process changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the directory tree doesn't exist like that). The same with hostname being something like myhost/3. Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop used in %E. (We extract it to a separate function.) Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core is dumped like (kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%h): core.2349.myprocess!1.myhost!1 Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/exec.c | 22 +++++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/exec.c b/fs/exec.c index 8900f61..dafded4 100644 --- a/fs/exec.c +++ b/fs/exec.c @@ -1547,10 +1547,17 @@ expand_fail: return ret; } +static void cn_escape(char *str) +{ + for (; *str; str++) + if (*str == '/') + *str = '!'; +} + static int cn_print_exe_file(struct core_name *cn) { struct file *exe_file; - char *pathbuf, *path, *p; + char *pathbuf, *path; int ret; exe_file = get_mm_exe_file(current->mm); @@ -1572,9 +1579,7 @@ static int cn_print_exe_file(struct core_name *cn) goto free_buf; } - for (p = path; *p; p++) - if (*p == '/') - *p = '!'; + cn_escape(path); ret = cn_printf(cn, "%s", path); @@ -1652,17 +1657,20 @@ static int format_corename(struct core_name *cn, long signr) break; } /* hostname */ - case 'h': + case 'h': { + char *namestart = cn->corename + cn->used; down_read(&uts_sem); err = cn_printf(cn, "%s", utsname()->nodename); up_read(&uts_sem); + cn_escape(namestart); break; + } /* executable */ case 'e': { char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; - err = cn_printf(cn, "%s", - get_task_comm(comm, current)); + cn_escape(get_task_comm(comm, current)); + err = cn_printf(cn, "%s", comm); break; } case 'E': -- 1.7.4.2 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
