[PATCH] garbage values in file /proc/net/sockstat

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	In 2.6.16-rc1-mm1, (for x86_64 arch) cpu_possible_map is not same 
as NR_CPUS (prefill_possible_map()). Therefore per cpu areas are allocated 
for cpu_possible cpus only (setup_per_cpu_areas()). This causes sockstat 
to return garbage value on x84_64 arch.

So these per_cpu accesses are geting relocated (RELOC_HIDE) using
boot_cpu_pda[]->data_offset which is not initialized.

There are other instances of same bug where per_cpu() macro is used
without cpu_possible() check. e.g. net/core/utils.c :: 
net_random_reseed(), net/core/dev.c :: net_dev_init(), etc.

This patch fixes these bugs.

Regards,
Pravin.
