The patch titled coredump: escape / in hostname and comm has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was coredump-escape-in-hostname-and-comm.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: coredump: escape / in hostname and comm From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> 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: Andi Kleen <andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/exec.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/exec.c~coredump-escape-in-hostname-and-comm fs/exec.c --- a/fs/exec.c~coredump-escape-in-hostname-and-comm +++ a/fs/exec.c @@ -1623,17 +1623,24 @@ 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); if (!exe_file) { char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; - return cn_printf(cn, "%s (path unknown)", get_task_comm(comm, - current)); + cn_escape(get_task_comm(comm, current)); + return cn_printf(cn, "%s (path unknown)", comm); } pathbuf = kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_TEMPORARY); @@ -1648,9 +1655,7 @@ static int cn_print_exe_file(struct core goto free_buf; } - for (p = path; *p; p++) - if (*p == '/') - *p = '!'; + cn_escape(path); ret = cn_printf(cn, "%s", path); @@ -1722,17 +1727,20 @@ static int format_corename(struct core_n 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': _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from jslaby@xxxxxxx are origin.patch coredump-use-task-comm-instead-of-unknown.patch leds-route-kbd-leds-through-the-generic-leds-layer.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
