Thanks Al, and Guenter, and Sabrina for helping resolve this; it surely would have taken me much longer alone. Al, do you mind if I fold your patch below into the existing patches? > diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c > index 323957f..cda89c3 100644 > --- a/fs/namei.c > +++ b/fs/namei.c > @@ -2056,13 +2056,22 @@ static int do_path_lookup(int dfd, const char *name, > /* does lookup, returns the object with parent locked */ > struct dentry *kern_path_locked(const char *name, struct path *path) > { > + struct filename *filename = getname_kernel(name); > struct nameidata nd; > struct dentry *d; > - int err = do_path_lookup(AT_FDCWD, name, LOOKUP_PARENT, &nd); > - if (err) > + int err; > + > + if (IS_ERR(filename)) > + return ERR_CAST(filename); > + > + err = filename_lookup(AT_FDCWD, filename, LOOKUP_PARENT, &nd); > + if (err) { > + putname(filename); > return ERR_PTR(err); > + } > if (nd.last_type != LAST_NORM) { > path_put(&nd.path); > + putname(filename); > return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); > } > mutex_lock_nested(&nd.path.dentry->d_inode->i_mutex, I_MUTEX_PARENT); > @@ -2070,9 +2079,11 @@ struct dentry *kern_path_locked(const char *name, > struct path *path) if (IS_ERR(d)) { > mutex_unlock(&nd.path.dentry->d_inode->i_mutex); > path_put(&nd.path); > + putname(filename); > return d; > } > *path = nd.path; > + putname(filename); > return d; > } > > @@ -3314,7 +3325,7 @@ struct file *do_file_open_root(struct dentry *dentry, > struct vfsmount *mnt, return file; > } > > -struct dentry *kern_path_create(int dfd, const char *pathname, > +static struct dentry *filename_create(int dfd, struct filename *name, > struct path *path, unsigned int lookup_flags) > { > struct dentry *dentry = ERR_PTR(-EEXIST); > @@ -3329,7 +3340,7 @@ struct dentry *kern_path_create(int dfd, const char > *pathname, */ > lookup_flags &= LOOKUP_REVAL; > > - error = do_path_lookup(dfd, pathname, LOOKUP_PARENT|lookup_flags, &nd); > + error = filename_lookup(dfd, name, LOOKUP_PARENT|lookup_flags, &nd); > if (error) > return ERR_PTR(error); > > @@ -3383,6 +3394,19 @@ out: > path_put(&nd.path); > return dentry; > } > + > +struct dentry *kern_path_create(int dfd, const char *pathname, > + struct path *path, unsigned int lookup_flags) > +{ > + struct filename *filename = getname_kernel(pathname); > + struct dentry *res = ERR_CAST(filename); > + > + if (!IS_ERR(filename)) { > + res = filename_create(dfd, filename, path, lookup_flags); > + putname(filename); > + } > + return res; > +} > EXPORT_SYMBOL(kern_path_create); > > void done_path_create(struct path *path, struct dentry *dentry) > @@ -3401,7 +3425,7 @@ struct dentry *user_path_create(int dfd, const char > __user *pathname, struct dentry *res; > if (IS_ERR(tmp)) > return ERR_CAST(tmp); > - res = kern_path_create(dfd, tmp->name, path, lookup_flags); > + res = filename_create(dfd, tmp, path, lookup_flags); > putname(tmp); > return res; > } -- paul moore security @ redhat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
