[PATCH v2 08/10] zram: protect sysfs handler from invalid memory access

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

 



Use zram->init_lock to protect access to zram->meta, otherwise it
may cause invalid memory access if zram->meta has been freed by
zram_reset_device().

This issue may be triggered by:
Thread 1:
while true; do cat mem_used_total; done
Thread 2:
while true; do echo 8M > disksize; echo 1 > reset; done
