keyring_read() doesn't need to use rcu_dereference() to access the keyring payload as the caller holds the key semaphore to prevent modifications from happening whilst the data is read out. This should solve the following warning: =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- security/keys/keyring.c:204 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 1 lock held by keyctl/2144: #0: (&key->sem){+++++.}, at: [<ffffffff81177f7c>] keyctl_read_key+0x9c/0xcf stack backtrace: Pid: 2144, comm: keyctl Not tainted 2.6.34-rc2-cachefs #113 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8105121f>] lockdep_rcu_dereference+0xaa/0xb2 [<ffffffff811762d5>] keyring_read+0x4d/0xe7 [<ffffffff81177f8c>] keyctl_read_key+0xac/0xcf [<ffffffff811788d4>] sys_keyctl+0x75/0xb9 [<ffffffff81001eeb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> |
