The patch titled
Subject: proc: fix coredump vs read /proc/*/stat race
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proc-fix-coredump-vs-read-proc-stat-race.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: fix coredump vs read /proc/*/stat race
do_task_stat() accesses IP and SP of a task without bumping reference
count of a stack (which became an entity with independent lifetime at some
point).
Steps to reproduce:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(void)
{
setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &(struct rlimit){});
while (1) {
char buf[64];
char buf2[4096];
pid_t pid;
int fd;
pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
*(volatile int *)0 = 0;
}
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/proc/%u/stat", pid);
fd = open(buf, O_RDONLY);
read(fd, buf2, sizeof(buf2));
close(fd);
waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
}
return 0;
}

John Ogness said: for my tests I added an else case to verify that the
race is hit and correctly mitigated.
