This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_files to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.21. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 914a8c7a8dc7a73079c36ddad134d7e055bdface Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Fetishev <artem_fetishev@epam.com> Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:49:45 -0700 Subject: fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_files 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 Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68991 Signed-off-by: Artem Fetishev <artem_fetishev@epam.com> Signed-off-by: Aleksandr Terekhov <aleksandr_terekhov@epam.com> Reported-by: <wiebittewas@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Acked-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Reviewed-by: "Eric W.
