zram_meta_alloc() constructs a pool name for zs_create_pool() call as snprintf(pool_name, sizeof(pool_name), "zram%d", device_id);
However, it defines pool name buffer to be only 8 chars long (minus trailing zero), which means that we can have only 1000 pool names: zram0 -- zram999. With CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT enabled an attempt to create a device zram1000 can fail if device zram100 already exists, because snprintf() will truncate new pool name to zram100 and pass it to debugfs_create_dir(), causing: debugfs dir <zram100> creation failed zram: Error creating memory pool ... and so on (zram101 - zram1010, etc). Fix it by increasing pool_name buffer size to 11: -- zram prefix (length 4) -- int device_id can use up to 10 chars -- terminating zero byte Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhat...@gmail.com> --- drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c b/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c index b088ca9..1dec01d 100644 --- a/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c +++ b/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c @@ -502,7 +502,7 @@ static void zram_meta_free(struct zram_meta *meta, u64 disksize) static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc(int device_id, u64 disksize) { size_t num_pages; - char pool_name[8]; + char pool_name[15]; struct zram_meta *meta = kmalloc(sizeof(*meta), GFP_KERNEL); if (!meta) -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
