Subject: [PATCH 5.15 20/20] exit: Use READ_ONCE() for all oops/warn limit reads
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 10:51:10 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230124185110.143857-21-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230124185110.143857-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit 7535b832c6399b5ebfc5b53af5c51dd915ee2538 upstream.

Use a temporary variable to take full advantage of READ_ONCE() behavior.
Without this, the report (and even the test) might be out of sync with
the initial test.

Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y5x7GXeluFmZ8E0E@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net
Fixes: 9fc9e278a5c0 ("panic: Introduce warn_limit")
Fixes: d4ccd54d28d3 ("exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops")
