4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit b1cb7372fa822af6c06c8045963571d13ad6348b upstream. dvb_frontend_invoke_release() may free the frontend struct. So, the free logic can't update it anymore after calling it. That's OK, as __dvb_frontend_free() is called only when the krefs are zeroed, so nobody is using it anymore. That should fix the following KASAN error: The KASAN report looks like this (running on kernel 3e0cc09a3a2c40ec1ffb6b4e12da86e98feccb11 (4.14-rc5+)):
