The patch titled Subject: proc: add and remove /proc entry create checks has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-add-and-remove-proc-entry-create-checks.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-add-and-remove-proc-entry-create-checks.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-add-and-remove-proc-entry-create-checks.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: add and remove /proc entry create checks * remove proc_create(NULL, ...) check, let it oops * warn about proc_create("", ...) and proc_create("very very long name", ...) proc code keeps length as u8, no 256+ name length possible * warn about proc_create("123", ...) /proc/$PID and /proc/misc namespaces are separate things, but dumb module might create funky a-la $PID entry. * remove post mortem strchr('/') check Triggering it implies either strchr() is buggy or memory corruption. It should be VFS check anyway. In reality, none of these checks will ever trigger, it is preparation for the next patch. Based on patch from Al Viro.
