If you call notifier_call_chain after ko is unloaded, it will trigger oops. If the system is configured with softlockup_panic and the same hook is repeatedly registered on the panic_notifier_list, it will cause a loop panic. Add a check in notifier_chain_register() to avoid duplicate registration Signed-off-by: Xiaoming Ni --- kernel/notifier.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/notifier.c b/kernel/notifier.c index d9f5081..30bedb8 100644 --- a/kernel/notifier.c +++ b/kernel/notifier.c @@ -23,7 +23,10 @@ static int notifier_chain_register(struct notifier_block **nl, struct notifier_block *n) { while ((*nl) != NULL) { - WARN_ONCE(((*nl) == n), "double register detected"); + if (unlikely((*nl) == n)) { + WARN(1, "double register detected"); + return 0; + } if (n->priority > (*nl)->priority) break; nl = &((*nl)->next); -- 1.8.5.6
