4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4407de74df18ed405cc5998990004c813ccfdbde upstream. A basic rmmod ramoops segfaults. Let's see why. Since commit 34f0ec82e0a9 ("pstore: Correct the max_dump_cnt clearing of ramoops") sets ->max_dump_cnt to zero before looping over ->przs but we didn't use it before that either. And since commit ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") we free that memory on rmmod. But even then, we looped until a NULL pointer or ERR. I don't see where it is ensured that the last member is NULL. Let's try this instead: simply error recovery and free. Clean up in error case where resources were allocated. And then, in the free path, rely on ->max_dump_cnt in the free path.
