Date: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 4:13 am

In this unfortunate case, proc_mkdir_mode wrapper can't be used anymore and
this is no way to reuse proc_create_data due to nlinks assignment. So,
copy the code from proc_mkdir and assign PDE->data at the appropriate
moment.

Simply replace proc_create and further data assigned with proc_create_data.
Additionally, there is no need to assign NULL to PDE->data after creation,
/proc generic has already done this for us.

The check for PDE->data != NULL becomes useless after the replacement
of proc_net_fops_create with proc_create_data.

First off, sorry to bring such an old email back but I can seem to get
a bad feeling when looking back over it.


When you try to pass in afinfo->name (and also the seq_fops) you are
assuming that afinfo is not null meaning in the unlikely(as shown
above) even that it is null you get a very bad null pointer problem.
If I am just way off do let me know because this just seams to me like
a bad idea. This is also still present in 2.6.26-rc9.

It appears you are getting things confused.  The original window is that tcp_seq_open
(which is what get called when you open the proc file) had a small race that p->data
could be read before it was set.

With proc_create_data that race was closed.

You are saying that it is a problem for tcp_seq_open to be passed a NULL afinfo.
It is.  That has nothing to do with the original race (as that is a very
different part of the code).  Feel free to audit all of the callers if
you like.  That problem however is not subtle or racy.

So I see nothing wrong with this patch unless you can find a problem with
proc_create_data.

The reason to remove the check is simple - afinfo comes in the form of
the static pointer during init time. It is impossible to face NULL
pointer the problem in the reality. It can come as the programmer
mistake, but the OOPS will be immediate and straightforward. Namely, the
kernel will not boot/work at all.

Simply replace proc_create and further data assigned with proc_create_data.

Simply replace proc_create and further data assigned with proc_create_data.
No need to check for data!=NULL after that.
