    CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6] · e0e81739
    David Howells 提交于
    Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
    for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
    pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
    this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
    all references, not just those from task_structs).
    
    Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
    pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
    
    This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
    kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
    credential struct has been previously released):
