Hello Thomas,
Thank you for Cc:-ing me on this.
The patch applied successfully against 6.3-rc1 commit 44889ba56cbb Merge tag 'net-6.3-rc2'
and I'm just in a build with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y
However, I can see remotely whether the kernel is operating, but not these special messages
that are emitted past rsyslog's end of lifetime. It looks like it will require physical
access to the box tomorrow morning, Lord willing.
I hate to object to your solution, still, I fail to see how it releases
security/integrity/iint.c:
175 static int __init integrity_iintcache_init(void)
176 {
177 iint_cache =
178 kmem_cache_create("iint_cache", sizeof(struct integrity_iint_cache),
179 0, SLAB_PANIC, init_once);
180 return 0;
181 }
182 DEFINE_LSM(integrity) = {
183 .name = "integrity",
184 .init = integrity_iintcache_init,
185 };
It is declared here:
26 static struct kmem_cache *iint_cache __read_mostly;
so it ought to be kmem_cache_destroy()-ed from this module, unless there is something that
is not obvious nor transparent.
Can you help me see what I'm doing wrong?
(Many thanks to Mr. Andy Schevchenko from Intel who narrowed the search for the bug to
security/integrity/iint.c.)
Best regards,
Mirsad
