Subject: [PATCH 9/9] perf dso: Set standard errno on decompression failure
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 19:32:49 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615223249.36598-10-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615223249.36598-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
dso__get_filename() sets errno to a negative custom DSO_LOAD_ERRNO
value when kernel module decompression fails:
errno = *dso__load_errno(dso); /* e.g. -9996 */
The caller __open_dso() then computes fd = -errno, producing a large
positive value (9996) that looks like a valid file descriptor. This
can cause close_data_fd() to close an unrelated fd used by another
subsystem.
Set errno to EIO instead. The detailed error code is already stored
in dso__load_errno(dso) for diagnostic messages.
Fixes: 1d6b3c9ba756a513 ("perf tools: Decompress kernel module when reading DSO data")
