From 234a9f3c4ee1e35a4c1b4b6af7a85651ddea453b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:22:44 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] pidns: remove recursion from free_pid_ns() free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion: free_pid_ns(parent) put_pid_ns(parent) kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns); free_pid_ns thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a panic eventually. This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop. Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin. Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov Cc: Andrew Vagin Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W.
