[PATCH v2 0/1] lockd: Change nsm_use_hostnames from bool to u32

[PATCH v2 0/1] lockd: Change nsm_use_hostnames from bool to u32

[Jia He]

nsm_use_hostnames is a module parameter and it will be exported to sysctl
procfs. This is to let user sometimes change it from userspace. But the
minimal unit for sysctl procfs read/write it sizeof(int).
In big endian system, the converting from/to  bool to/from int will cause
error for proc items.

This patch changes the type definition of nsm_use_hostnames.

The test case I used:
/***************************************************************/
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sysctl.h>

bool __read_mostly nsm_use_hostnames;
module_param(nsm_use_hostnames, bool, 0644);

static struct ctl_table my_sysctl[] = {
        {
                .procname       = "nsm_use_hostnames",
                .data           = &nsm_use_hostnames,
                .maxlen         = sizeof(int),
                .mode           = 0644,
                .proc_handler   = &proc_dointvec,
        },
        {}
};

static struct ctl_table my_root[] = {
        {
        .procname       = "mysysctl",
        .mode           = 0555,
        .child          = my_sysctl,
        },
        {}
};

static struct ctl_table_header * my_ctl_header;

static int __init sysctl_exam_init(void)
{
        my_ctl_header = register_sysctl_table(&my_root);
        if (my_ctl_header == NULL)
                printk("error regiester sysctl");

        return 0;
}

static void __exit sysctl_exam_exit(void)
{
        unregister_sysctl_table(my_ctl_header);
}

module_init(sysctl_exam_init);
module_exit(sysctl_exam_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
/****************************************************************/

[root@bigendian my]# insmod -f /root/my/hello.ko nsm_use_hostnames=1   
[root@bigendian my]# cat /proc/sys/mysysctl/nsm_use_hostnames 
16777216

After I change the bool to int:
[root@bigendian my]# insmod -f /root/my/hello.ko nsm_use_hostnames=1
[root@bigendian my]# cat /proc/sys/mysysctl/nsm_use_hostnames
1

In little endian system, there is no such issue.

hi, jia
	nice catch!
However I think we should fix it totally.
This is because do_proc_dointvec_conv() try to get a int value from a bool *.

something like below might help. pls. ignore the code style and this is tested :)

hi, Jia

not only in BE system. :)
Current code is just touching a wrong pointer.

some tests based on yours

u8 __read_mostly nsm_use_hostnames[4]={1,2,3,4}; // an arrary of u8, and [0] passed to ctl_table as data

static struct ctl_table my_sysctl[] = {
         {
                 .procname       = "nsm_use_hostnames",
                 .data           = &nsm_use_hostnames[0],//u8,
                 .maxlen         = sizeof(int),
                 .mode           = 0644,
                 .proc_handler   = &proc_dointvec,
         },
         {}
};

then run your tests and result will be

root@ltcalpine2-lp13:~/linux/bench# cat /proc/sys/mysysctl/nsm_use_hostnames
67305985( This is 0x4030201, expected be 0x1)

So your fix patch work around it. But I suggest we can support u8/u16, not only int/double int.

thanks
