From dbcdb504417ae108a20454ef89776a614b948571 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 14:21:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: add and remove /proc entry create checks * remove proc_create(NULL, ...) check, let it oops * warn about proc_create("", ...) and proc_create("very very long name", ...) proc code keeps length as u8, no 256+ name length possible * warn about proc_create("123", ...) /proc/$PID and /proc/misc namespaces are separate things, but dumb module might create funky a-la $PID entry. * remove post mortem strchr('/') check Triggering it implies either strchr() is buggy or memory corruption. It should be VFS check anyway. In reality, none of these checks will ever trigger, it is preparation for the next patch. Based on patch from Al Viro.
