[PATCH 3/8] idr: fix NULL pointer dereference when ida_remove(unallocated_id)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the ida has at least one existed_id, and when an special unallocated_id
is passed to the ida_remove(), the system will crash because it hits NULL
pointer dereference.

This special unallocated_id is that it shares the same lowest idr layer with
an exsited_id, but the idr slot is different(if the unallocated_id is allocated).
In this case the supposed idr slot of the unallocated_id is NULL,
It means @bitmap == NULL, and when the code dereference it, it crash the kernel.

See the test code:

static void test3(void)
{
	int id;
	DEFINE_IDA(test_ida);

	printk(KERN_INFO "Start test3\n");
	if (ida_pre_get(&test_ida, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) return;
	if (ida_get_new(&test_ida,  &id) < 0) return;
	ida_remove(&test_ida, 4000); /* bug: null deference here */
	printk(KERN_INFO "End of test3\n");
}

It only happens when unallocated_id, it is caller's fault. It is not
a bug. But it is better to add the proper check and complains instead
of crashing the kernel.
