[PATCH 0/2] patches addresses problem with memory corruption

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

 



When for raid0 metadata is updated outside mdmon it can happen that
memory corruption occurs due to too amount of memory is allocated 
for imsm device structure.

1. imsm: FIX: mdmon crash during 2 raid0 arrays expansion
  this patch is almost the same to sent earlier except 2 changes:
   a) compilation problem
   b) size should affect anchor size also
      (added calculation changes extends space_needed variable also
       this variable is used for anchor allocation)
  so it replaces previous one.
2.  imsm: FIX: sizeof_imsm_dev() can return too small value
	size returned by sizeof_imsm_dev() describes minimum size of device
        This is correct when both device maps has the same length
        When device expands or shrinks we should return size that allows
        for storing larger device information to avoid memory corruption.
