[patch] NFS: null dereference in dev_remove()

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

 



In commit 5ffaf85541 "NFS: replace global bl_wq with per-net one" we
made "msg" a pointer instead of a struct stored in stack memory.  But we
forgot to change the memset() here so we're still clearing stack memory
instead clearing the struct like we intended.  It will lead to a kernel
crash.
