The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: fix a use after free on error has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-fix-a-use-after-free-on-error.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: fix a use after free on error The error handling in this function frees "reg" but it is still on the "o2hb_all_regions" list so it will lead to a use after free. The fix for this is to only add it to the list after everything has succeeded.
