The quilt patch titled Subject: mm, hwpoison: fix possible use-after-free in mf_dax_kill_procs() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hwpoison-fix-possible-use-after-free-in-mf_dax_kill_procs-v2.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, hwpoison: fix possible use-after-free in mf_dax_kill_procs() Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 11:23:44 +0800 After kill_procs(), tk will be freed without being removed from the to_kill list. In the next iteration, the freed list entry in the to_kill list will be accessed, thus leading to use-after-free issue. Adding list_del() in kill_procs() to fix the issue.
