Subject: [PATCH] get_net_ns_by_fd() oopses if proc_ns_fget() returns an error
Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 11:37:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110605103735.GB11521@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110604222531.GA11521@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

BTW, looking through the code related to struct net lifetime rules has
caught something else:

struct net *get_net_ns_by_fd(int fd)
{
        ...
        file = proc_ns_fget(fd);
        if (!file)
                goto out;

        ei = PROC_I(file->f_dentry->d_inode);

while in proc_ns_fget() we have two return ERR_PTR(...) and not a single
path that would return NULL.  The other caller of proc_ns_fget() treats
ERR_PTR() correctly...
