[PATCH] osst: don't doublefree pages from scatterlist

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

 



On some architectures, mapping the scatterlist may coalesce entries:
if that coalesced list is then used for freeing the pages afterwards,
there's a danger that pages may be doubly freed (and others leaked).

Fix OnStream SCSI Tape's normalize_buffer by freeing from a second list
beyond the I/O scatterlist, saving page pointers with their lengths.
