[Bug 260539] inp_next() NULL inp dereference?
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2021 11:20:37 UTC
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260539 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.
