[PATCH] loop: Fix use-after-free issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or
asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails.
Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor
'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request
has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054
