[PATCH 4.4 58/92] s390/qdio: fix access to uninitialized qdio_q fields

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e521813468f786271a87e78e8644243bead48fad upstream.

Ever since CQ/QAOB support was added, calling qdio_free() straight after
qdio_alloc() results in qdio_release_memory() accessing uninitialized
memory (ie. q->u.out.use_cq and q->u.out.aobs). Followed by a
kmem_cache_free() on the random AOB addresses.

For older kernels that don't have 6e30c549f6ca, the same applies if
qdio_establish() fails in the DEV_STATE_ONLINE check.

While initializing q->u.out.use_cq would be enough to fix this
particular bug, the more future-proof change is to just zero-alloc the
whole struct.
