[PATCH] watchdog: Fix an invalid memory access in 'watchdog_cdev_unregister()'

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

 



A few lines before 'watchdog_hrtimer_pretimeout_stop(wdd)', we explicitly
set 'wdd->wd_data' to NULL.
So, it is more than likely than this call will lead to an invalid
memory access.

Move this call before the 'wdd->wd_data = NULL;'

Fixes: 7b7d2fdc8c3e ("watchdog: Add hrtimer-based pretimeout feature")

Completely untested!
Not sure at all, that it is the way to fix it.
