[PATCH] tools/mm: Fix slabinfo crash when MAX_SLABS is exceeded

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

 



From: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The number of slabs can easily exceed the hard coded MAX_SLABS in the
slabinfo tool, causing it to overwrite memory and crash.

Increase the value of MAX_SLABS, and check if that has been exceeded for
each new slab, instead of at the end when it's already too late.  Also
move the check for MAX_ALIASES into the loop body.
