Hello all,
I'm trying to execute a user-space binary from a IRQ context so I
started form this module which execute the reboot command. If I adapt
this code to execute command with parameters I see that it silently
fail. I specify that I use 3.12.47 kernel version. When I started
digging into the kernel I figured out that __call_usermodehelper(struct
work_struct *work) try to retrieve back the subprocess_info structure
using
struct subprocess_info *sub_info = container_of(work, struct
subprocess_info, work);
I think that there is a problem with this retrieving because
sub_info->argv now contains weird values:
argv and envp in my module:
argv[0] = "/usr/local/sbin/xl";
argv[1] = "migrate";
argv[2] = "ubuntu";
argv[3] = "192.168.0.230";
envp[0] = "HOME=/";
envp[1] = "PWD=/";
envp[2] = "PATH=/usr/local/sbin/xl";
envp[3] = NULL;
argv and envp in __call_usermodehelper
argv[0] =
\xffffff90\xffffff9e.\x02\x02\xffffff88\xffffffff\xffffffff\xffffff90\xffffff9e.\x02\x02\xffffff88\xffffffff\xffffffff\xffffff80\xffffffbc\n\t"\x02\xffffff88\xffffffff\xffffffff
the others have similar values to argv[0]
Best regards,
Nitu Vlad-Tiberiu
