Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries
Fix following races:
===========================================
1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears
meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method
supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile.
pde = create_proc_entry()
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
pde->write_proc = ...
open
write
copy_from_user
pde = create_proc_entry();
if (!pde) {
remove_proc_entry();
return -ENOMEM;
/* module unloaded */
}
*boom*
==========================================
2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes()
remove_proc_entry vfs_read
proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness]
[check ->f_op->read validness]
[verify_area, security permissions checks]
->f_op = NULL;
if (file->f_op->read)
/* ->f_op dereference, boom */
NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's
see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories.
Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for
directories may be unneeded.
NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write,
->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release.
If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me. Full audit pending.
