Lovely... That would get an empty path and non-directory for a starting point, but it should end up with LAST_ROOT in nd->last_type. Which should not be able to reach the readers of those fields... Which kernel had that been on?Yecchhh... I see what's going on; I suspect that this ought to be enough. Folks, could somebody test it on the original reproducer setup?Sure. I can do that.Looks like this patch actually fixes this bug. I made syzbot test the patch, and no issues were triggered! Note: syzbot tested the patch with the KMSAN kernel, which was recently rebased on v5.9-rc4. Thanks, Anant
Ping. Has the patch that was tested been applied to any tree yet? If yes, could someone please let me know the commit details, so we can close the issue? (Unfortunately, I was unable to find it. :( ) Thanks, Anant _______________________________________________ Linux-kernel-mentees mailing list Linux-kernel-mentees@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-kernel-mentees
