Hi Paul, Today's linux-next merge of the audit tree got a conflict in fs/exec.c between commit 51f39a1f0cea ("syscalls: implement execveat() system call") from Linus' tree and commit 5dc5218840e1 ("fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()") from the audit tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action is required). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au diff --cc fs/exec.c index ad8798e26be9,d067771af6d4..000000000000 --- a/fs/exec.c +++ b/fs/exec.c @@@ -794,8 -789,15 +794,15 @@@ exit struct file *open_exec(const char *name) { - struct filename tmp = { .name = name }; - return do_open_execat(AT_FDCWD, &tmp, 0); + struct file *file; + struct filename *tmp; + + tmp = getname_kernel(name); + if (unlikely(IS_ERR(tmp))) + return (void *)tmp; - file = do_open_exec(tmp); ++ file = do_open_execat(AT_FDCWD, tmp, 0); + putname(tmp); + return file; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(open_exec);
