Subject: [PATCH][INET_DIAG]: Fix inet_diag_lock_handler error path
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:20:50 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080128022050.GQ27661@ghostprotocols.net> (raw)

Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9825

The inet_diag_lock_handler function uses ERR_PTR to encode errors but
its callers were testing against NULL.

This only happens when the only inet_diag modular user, DCCP, is not
built into the kernel or available as a module.

Also there was a problem with not dropping the mutex lock when a handler
was not found, also fixed in this patch.

This caused an OOPS and ss would then hang on subsequent calls, as
&inet_diag_table_mutex was being left locked.

Thanks to spike at ml.yaroslavl.ru for report it after trying 'ss -d'
on a kernel that doesn't have DCCP available.

This bug was introduced in cset
d523a328fb0271e1a763e985a21f2488fd816e7e, after 2.6.24-rc3, so just
2.6.24 seems to be affected.
