Subject: [PATCH v4] tools/mm: Fix slabinfo crash when MAX_SLABS is exceeded
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 07:55:34 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241031105534.565533-1-marc.c.dionne@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@auristor.com>
The number of slabs can easily exceed the hard coded MAX_SLABS in the
slabinfo tool, causing it to overwrite memory and crash.
Increase the value of MAX_SLABS, and check if that has been exceeded for
each new slab, instead of at the end when it's already too late. Also
move the check for MAX_ALIASES into the loop body.
