From 65b38851a17472d31fec9019fc3a55b0802dab88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 04:35:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes The usage of pid_ns->child_reaper->nsproxy->net_ns in nfs_server_list_open and nfs_client_list_open is not safe. /proc for a pid namespace can remain mounted after the all of the process in that pid namespace have exited. There are also times before the initial process in a pid namespace has started or after the initial process in a pid namespace has exited where pid_ns->child_reaper can be NULL or stale. Making the idiom pid_ns->child_reaper->nsproxy a double whammy of problems. Luckily all that needs to happen is to move /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes under /proc/net to /proc/net/nfsfs/servers and /proc/net/nfsfs/volumes and add a symlink from the original location, and to use seq_open_net as it has been designed.
