However in the past access to current->comm could be done without locking. This is no longer the case, so all comm access needs to be done while holding the comm_lock. In my attempt to clean up unprotected comm access, I've noticed most comm access is done for printk output. To simplify correct locking in these cases, I've introduced a new %ptc format, which will print the corresponding task's comm. Example use: printk("%ptc: unaligned epc - sending SIGBUS.\n", current); CC: Ted Ts'o CC: KOSAKI Motohiro CC: David Rientjes CC: Dave Hansen CC: Andrew Morton CC: linux-mm@kvack.org Signed-off-by: John Stultz --- lib/vsprintf.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/vsprintf.c b/lib/vsprintf.c index bc0ac6b..b7a9953 100644 --- a/lib/vsprintf.c +++ b/lib/vsprintf.c @@ -797,6 +797,23 @@ char *uuid_string(char *buf, char *end, const u8 *addr, return string(buf, end, uuid, spec); } +static noinline_for_stack +char *task_comm_string(char *buf, char *end, void *addr, + struct printf_spec spec, const char *fmt) +{ + struct task_struct *tsk = addr; + char *ret; + unsigned long flags; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&tsk->comm_lock, flags); + ret = string(buf, end, tsk->comm, spec); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&tsk->comm_lock, flags); + + return ret; +} + + + int kptr_restrict = 1; /* @@ -864,6 +881,12 @@ char *pointer(const char *fmt, char *buf, char *end, void *ptr, } switch (*fmt) { + case 't': + switch (fmt[1]) { + case 'c': + return task_comm_string(buf, end, ptr, spec, fmt); + } + break; case 'F': case 'f': ptr = dereference_function_descriptor(ptr); @@ -1151,6 +1174,7 @@ qualifier: * http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-text-addr-representation-00 * %pU[bBlL] print a UUID/GUID in big or little endian using lower or upper * case. + * %ptc outputs the task's comm name * %n is ignored * * The return value is the number of characters which would
