[PATCH 3.8 67/86] fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_files

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Apr 01 2014 - 12:40:00 EST


3.8.13.21 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Artem Fetishev <artem_fetishev@xxxxxxxx>

commit 70335abb2689c8cd5df91bf2d95a65649addf50b upstream.

The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0
and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized.

By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have
already be gone. In this case the path is not initialized but the
return value is still 0. This results in 'general protection fault'
inside d_path().

Steps to reproduce:

CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y

fd = open(...);
while (1) {
mmap(fd, ...);
munmap(fd, ...);
}

ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files
