From 1610cd913f5aaae23c6e6eab0e807145e4852b3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Madhuparna Bhowmik Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 21:32:05 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] evm: Fix RCU list related warnings [ Upstream commit 770f60586d2af0590be263f55fd079226313922c ] This patch fixes the following warning and few other instances of traversal of evm_config_xattrnames list: [ 32.848432] ============================= [ 32.848707] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage [ 32.848966] 5.7.0-rc1-00006-ga8d5875ce5f0b #1 Not tainted [ 32.849308] ----------------------------- [ 32.849567] security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c:231 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!! Since entries are only added to the list and never deleted, use list_for_each_entry_lockless() instead of list_for_each_entry_rcu for traversing the list. Also, add a relevant comment in evm_secfs.c to indicate this fact. Reported-by: kernel test robot Suggested-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Madhuparna Bhowmik Acked-by: Paul E.
