Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] rust: bug: pass TAINT_WARN to warn_slowpath_fmt() on UML
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 05:33:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108043327.98801-1-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110447-anything-wildcard-f4e0@gregkh>
From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>
commit 951d09ca450ca76a695016ea76c3fa653bd20439 upstream.
On UML, `warn_flags!` calls `warn_slowpath_fmt()` directly. Its third
argument is a taint number, but `warn_on!` passes its bug flags there.
As a result, `add_taint()` gets 2304 instead of 9 (`TAINT_WARN`). The
warning is not recorded: `/proc/sys/kernel/tainted` stays 0 after
`warn_on!` fires, where it should be 512. It also causes an
out-of-bounds write in `add_taint()`.
Pass `TAINT_WARN` directly, as C does on UML.
