Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 14:47:13 +0200 (CEST) From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk> To: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@...nel.crashing.org>, Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org>, linuxppc-dev@...abs.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/3] arch/powerpc/platforms: Eliminate use after free From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk> dlpar_free_cc_nodes frees its argument, so dlpar_online_cpu should not be called on the same value. Skip over the call to dlpar_online_cpu by jumping directly to out. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression E,E2; @@ dlpar_free_cc_nodes(E) ... ( E = E2 | * E ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c index e1682bc..1540a41 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c @@ -433,6 +433,7 @@ static ssize_t dlpar_cpu_probe(const char *buf, size_t count) if (rc) { dlpar_release_drc(drc_index); dlpar_free_cc_nodes(dn); + goto out; } rc = dlpar_online_cpu(dn); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
