Bug ID: 260539
Summary: inp_next() NULL inp dereference?
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: rtm@lcs.mit.edu
In inp_next(), in this for-loop:
if (ii->inp == NULL) { /* First call. */
smr_enter(ipi->ipi_smr);
/* This is unrolled CK_LIST_FOREACH(). */
for (inp = II_LIST_FIRST(ipi, hash);
inp != NULL;
inp = II_LIST_NEXT(inp, hash)) {
if (match != NULL && (match)(inp, ctx) == false)
continue;
if (__predict_true(inp_smr_lock(inp, lock)))
break;
else {
smr_enter(ipi->ipi_smr);
MPASS(inp != II_LIST_FIRST(ipi, hash));
inp = II_LIST_FIRST(ipi, hash);
}
}
I wonder if the last "inp = II_LIST_FIRST(ipi, hash)" ought to be
followed by "if(inp == NULL) break", since it will be immediately
followed by the for-loop's II_LIST_NEXT().
I bring this up because I've seen a kernel page fault in the
for-loop's II_LIST_NEXT due to a NULL inp. However, I cannot reproduce
it. It occured at a time when the kernel was killing processes due to
low memory.
