Subject: [PATCH 1/6] SUNRPC: Move cache_initialize() declaration to sunrpc-private header
Date: Fri, 01 May 2026 10:51:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501-cache-uaf-fix-v1-1-a49928bf4817@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501-cache-uaf-fix-v1-0-a49928bf4817@oracle.com>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
cache_initialize() was introduced by commit 8eab945c5616 ("sunrpc:
make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrable", 2010) and placed in
the public include/linux/sunrpc/cache.h from the start, but it
has never been EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL'd. The only caller, init_sunrpc()
in net/sunrpc/sunrpc_syms.c, is built into the same module that
defines the function, so external modules could not link against
the symbol even if they tried. The public declaration has been a
stale-public hygiene leak ever since.
Relocate the declaration to net/sunrpc/sunrpc.h alongside other
sunrpc-internal helpers and include that header from
net/sunrpc/cache.c so the compiler enforces prototype consistency
at the definition site. The public include/linux/sunrpc/cache.h
now reflects the actual external API surface.
No functional change.
