From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently, the caller of bd_link_disk_holer() get 'bdev' by blkdev_get_by_dev(), which will look up 'bdev' by inode number 'dev'. Howerver, it's possible that del_gendisk() can be called currently, and 'bd_holder_dir' can be freed before bd_link_disk_holer() access it, thus use after free is triggered. t1: t2: bdev = blkdev_get_by_dev del_gendisk kobject_put(bd_holder_dir) kobject_free() bd_link_disk_holder Fix the problem by checking disk is still live and grabbing a reference to 'bd_holder_dir' first in bd_link_disk_holder().
