Subject: [PATCH] net: Revert "fib_trie: use seq_file_net rather than seq->private"
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 18:02:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401919352-32263-1-git-send-email-sasha.levin@oracle.com> (raw)
This reverts commit 30f38d2fdd79f13fc929489f7e6e517b4a4bfe63.
fib_triestat is surrounded by a big lie: while it claims that it's a
seq_file (fib_triestat_seq_open, fib_triestat_seq_show), it isn't:
static const struct file_operations fib_triestat_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.open = fib_triestat_seq_open,
.read = seq_read,
.llseek = seq_lseek,
.release = single_release_net,
};
Yes, fib_triestat is just a regular file.
A small detail (assuming CONFIG_NET_NS=y) is that while for seq_files
you could do seq_file_net() to get the net ptr, doing so for a regular
file would be wrong and would dereference an invalid pointer.
The fib_triestat lie claimed a victim, and trying to show the file would
be bad for the kernel. This patch just reverts the issue and fixes
fib_triestat, which still needs a rewrite to either be a seq_file or
stop claiming it is.
