Subject: [PATCH] fanotify: initialize permission event watchdog state
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 11:13:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703031345.9354-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
fanotify permission events are allocated with kmem_cache_alloc(), but
fanotify_alloc_perm_event() does not initialize watchdog_cnt.
The watchdog reads watchdog_cnt after the event is moved to access_list.
A stale value can make it warn too early or skip the warning.
Initialize watchdog_cnt when allocating a permission event.
Fixes: b8cf8fda522d ("fanotify: add watchdog for permission events")
