Subject: + exec-kill-load_binary-=-null-check-in-search_binary_handler.patch added to -mm tree To: oleg@xxxxxxxxxx,keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx,viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,zbr@xxxxxxxxxxx,zml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:45:12 -0700 The patch titled Subject: exec: kill ->load_binary != NULL check in search_binary_handler() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is exec-kill-load_binary-=-null-check-in-search_binary_handler.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/exec-kill-load_binary-=-null-check-in-search_binary_handler.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/exec-kill-load_binary-=-null-check-in-search_binary_handler.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: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: exec: kill ->load_binary != NULL check in search_binary_handler() search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this method should be always defined. Turn this check into WARN_ON() and move it into __register_binfmt(). Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing, as if ->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock). But we rely on module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered, otherwise this code is buggy anyway.
