Free Order Summary

(Hakuna ukaguzi ulioelezwa katika muhtasari huu na baadhi ya kesi zimeachwa kwa kifupi)

  1. Ikiwa anwani ni null, usifanye chochote

  2. Ikiwa kipande kilikuwa kimemmaped, mummap na maliza

  3. Piga _int_free:

  4. Ikiwezekana, ongeza kipande kwenye tcache

  5. Ikiwezekana, ongeza kipande kwenye bakuli la haraka

  6. Piga _int_free_merge_chunk ili kuunganisha kipande ikiwa ni lazima na kuongeza kwenye orodha isiyopangwa

__libc_free

Free inaita __libc_free.

  • Ikiwa anwani iliyopitishwa ni Null (0) usifanye chochote.

  • Angalia lebo ya kidude

  • Ikiwa kipande ni kimemmaped, mummap na hiyo yote

  • Ikiwa sivyo, ongeza rangi na piga _int_free juu yake

Kificho cha __lib_free

```c void __libc_free (void *mem) { mstate ar_ptr; mchunkptr p; /* chunk corresponding to mem */

if (mem == 0) /* free(0) has no effect */ return;

/* Quickly check that the freed pointer matches the tag for the memory. This gives a useful double-free detection. */ if (__glibc_unlikely (mtag_enabled)) *(volatile char *)mem;

int err = errno;

p = mem2chunk (mem);

if (chunk_is_mmapped (p)) /* release mmapped memory. / { / See if the dynamic brk/mmap threshold needs adjusting. Dumped fake mmapped chunks do not affect the threshold. */ if (!mp_.no_dyn_threshold && chunksize_nomask (p) > mp_.mmap_threshold && chunksize_nomask (p) <= DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD_MAX) { mp_.mmap_threshold = chunksize (p); mp_.trim_threshold = 2 * mp_.mmap_threshold; LIBC_PROBE (memory_mallopt_free_dyn_thresholds, 2, mp_.mmap_threshold, mp_.trim_threshold); } munmap_chunk (p); } else { MAYBE_INIT_TCACHE ();

/* Mark the chunk as belonging to the library again. */ (void)tag_region (chunk2mem (p), memsize (p));

ar_ptr = arena_for_chunk (p); _int_free (ar_ptr, p, 0); }

__set_errno (err); } libc_hidden_def (__libc_free)

## _int_free <a href="#int_free" id="int_free"></a>

### _int_free kuanza <a href="#int_free" id="int_free"></a>

Inaanza na ukaguzi fulani kuhakikisha:

* **kipekee** kime **pangiliwa,** au kuzua kosa `free(): pointer batili`
* **ukubwa** si mdogo kuliko kiwango cha chini na kwamba **ukubwa** pia umepangiliwa au kuzua kosa: `free(): ukubwa batili`

_int_free tcache

Kwanza itajaribu kutenga kipande hiki katika tcache inayohusiana. Walakini, ukaguzi fulani hufanywa hapo awali. Itapita kupitia vikundi vyote vya tcache katika index sawa na kipande kilichofutwa na:

  • Ikiwa kuna viingilio zaidi ya mp_.tcache_count: free(): too many chunks detected in tcache

  • Ikiwa kuingilio sio sawa: free(): unaligned chunk detected in tcache 2

  • ikiwa kipande kilichofutwa tayari kimefutwa na kipo kama kipande katika tcache: free(): double free detected in tcache 2

Ikiwa mambo yote yanaenda vizuri, kipande kitawekwa kwenye tcache na kazi itarudi.

_int_free kikasha cha haraka

Anza kwa kuangalia kwamba ukubwa unafaa kwa kikasha cha haraka na angalia ikiwa inawezekana kuweka karibu na kipande cha juu.

Kisha, ongeza kipande kilichofutwa juu ya kikasha cha haraka wakati ukifanya ukaguzi fulani:

  • Ikiwa ukubwa wa kipande ni batili (kubwa sana au dogo sana) itasababisha: free(): ukubwa usiofaa (haraka)

  • Ikiwa kipande kilichoongezwa kilikuwa tayari kilele cha kikasha cha haraka: uhuru maradufu au uharibifu (kilele cha haraka)

  • Ikiwa ukubwa wa kipande juu una ukubwa tofauti na kipande tunachoongeza: ingizo batili la kikasha cha haraka (uhuru)

_int_free_merge_chunk

Hii function itajaribu kuunganisha chunk P ya SIZE bytes na majirani zake. Weka chunk iliyopatikana kwenye orodha ya bin isiyo na mpangilio.

Baadhi ya ukaguzi unafanywa:

  • Ikiwa chunk ni top chunk: double free or corruption (top)

  • Ikiwa chunk inayofuata iko nje ya mipaka ya uwanja: double free or corruption (out)

  • Ikiwa chunk haijatambulishwa kama iliyotumika (katika prev_inuse kutoka kwa chunk inayofuata): double free or corruption (!prev)

  • Ikiwa chunk inayofuata ina ukubwa mdogo sana au mkubwa sana: free(): invalid next size (normal)

  • ikiwa chunk iliyotangulia haiko katika matumizi, itajaribu kuunganisha. Lakini, ikiwa prev_size inatofautiana na ukubwa ulioonyeshwa kwenye chunk iliyotangulia: corrupted size vs. prev_size while consolidating
