From fd2f7cb5bcac58b63717cd45366bff9a6ab961c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 20:07:13 -0500 Subject: kill struct filename.separate just make const char iname[] the last member and compare name->name with name->iname instead of checking name->separate We need to make sure that out-of-line name doesn't end up allocated adjacent to struct filename refering to it; fortunately, it's easy to achieve - just allocate that struct filename with one byte in ->iname[], so that ->iname[0] will be inside the same object and thus have an address different from that of out-of-line name [spotted by Boqun Feng ] Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- include/linux/fs.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/fs.h b/include/linux/fs.h index b4d71b5e1ff2..d70e333988f1 100644 --- a/include/linux/fs.h +++ b/include/linux/fs.h @@ -2144,7 +2144,7 @@ struct filename { const __user char *uptr; /* original userland pointer */ struct audit_names *aname; int refcnt; - bool separate; /* should "name" be freed? */ + const char iname[]; }; extern long vfs_truncate(struct path *, loff_t); -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
