Subject: [bug report] cgroup: make cgroup_path() and friends behave in the style of strlcpy()
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 12:27:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160929092722.GA5513@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Tejun Heo,
The patch 4c737b41de7f: "cgroup: make cgroup_path() and friends
behave in the style of strlcpy()" from Aug 10, 2016, leads to the
following static checker warning:
kernel/cpuset.c:2732 proc_cpuset_show()
warn: signed compare with PATH_MAX 'retval'
kernel/cpuset.c
2715 int proc_cpuset_show(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
2716 struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *tsk)
2717 {
2718 char *buf;
2719 struct cgroup_subsys_state *css;
2720 int retval;
2721
2722 retval = -ENOMEM;
2723 buf = kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_KERNEL);
2724 if (!buf)
2725 goto out;
2726
2727 retval = -ENAMETOOLONG;
2728 css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id);
2729 retval = cgroup_path_ns(css->cgroup, buf, PATH_MAX,
2730 current->nsproxy->cgroup_ns);
2731 css_put(css);
2732 if (retval >= PATH_MAX)
2733 goto out_free;
2734 seq_puts(m, buf);
2735 seq_putc(m, '\n');
2736 retval = 0;
2737 out_free:
2738 kfree(buf);
2739 out:
2740 return 0;
Theoretically the out label should make this code totally future proof
but something broke somehow. The comments imply that cgroup_path_ns()
returns negative error codes.
2741 }
regards,
dan carpenter
