And that in turn # caused a regression for at least Fedora 29, where NIC interfaces fail to # start when using NetworkManager. # # Since only the write side wanted the mm_struct test, ignore any failures # by __mem_open() at open time, leaving reads unaffected. The write() # time verification of the mm_struct pointer will then catch the failure # case because a NULL pointer will not match a valid 'current->mm'. # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/YMjTlp2FSJYvoyFa@unreal/ # Fixes: 591a22c14d3f ("proc: Track /proc/$pid/attr/ opener mm_struct") # Reported-and-tested-by: Leon Romanovsky # Cc: Kees Cook # Cc: Christian Brauner # Cc: Andrea Righi # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 94f0b2d4a1d0c52035aef425da5e022bd2cb1c71 # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_ip22_defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- ip22_defconfig # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_ip22_defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- help # make -s -j 24 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_ip22_defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 24 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_ip22_defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_ip22_defconfig_mips-gcc8 # Build took: 0:02:17.955587
