[PATCHv2] virtio: Don't access device data after unregistration.

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

 



From: Sjur Brændeland <sjur.brandeland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix panic in virtio.c when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is set.
device_unregister() drops reference to device so put_device()
could invoke release callback. In this case the release
callback will free the device. Make sure we don't access
device after unregister by fetching the device index
before calling unregister.
