From 487ea5af6358cb27c994e2cf056d4ee0872e43c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Csaba Henk Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:17:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fuse: limit user-specified values of max background requests An untrusted user could DoS the system if s/he were allowed to accumulate an arbitrary number of pending background requests by setting the above limits to extremely high values in INIT. This patch excludes this possibility by imposing global upper limits on the possible values of per-mount "max background requests" and "congestion threshold" parameters for unprivileged FUSE filesystems. These global limits are implemented as module parameters. Signed-off-by: Csaba Henk Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi --- Reading git-format-patch failed
