[PATCH 3.16 106/204] iommu/exynos: Remove initconst attribute to avoid potential kernel oops

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

 



3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9d25e3cc83d731ae4eeb017fd07562fde3f80bef upstream.

Exynos SYSMMU registers standard platform device with sysmmu_of_match
table, what means that this table is accessed every time a new platform
device is registered in a system. This might happen also after the boot,
so the table must not be attributed as initconst to avoid potential kernel
oops caused by access to freed memory.
