Hello- Hopefully this isn't redundant, I haven't checked the latest -ac or -pre releases. I just noticed on my 2.4.5 box that I have two /proc/dri/ directory entries (I've got both on-board and AGP video in the box and both are trying to register entries). Yes, code that tries to register the same name twice is broken, but the filesystem still shouldn't allow bad code to break its semantics (duplicate entries of the same name). The following patch performs a duplicate name check. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- fs/proc/generic.c.orig Tue Jun 19 15:44:05 2001 +++ fs/proc/generic.c Wed Jun 20 10:02:32 2001 @@ -421,6 +421,14 @@ goto out; len = strlen(fn); + /* check for name conflicts */ + for (ent=(*parent)->subdir; ent; ent=ent->next) { + if (proc_match(len,name,ent)) { + ent = NULL; + goto out; + } + } + ent = kmalloc(sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) + len + 1, GFP_KERNEL); if (!ent) goto out; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks -Eric -- -------------------------------------------- Eric H.
