[PATCH 5.0 059/238] vmw_balloon: release lock on error in vmballoon_reset()

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

 



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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d04071a5d6413b65f17f7bd6e2bdb22e22e4ace7 upstream.

We added some locking to this function but forgot to drop the lock on
these two error paths.  This bug would lead to an immediate deadlock.

Fixes: c7b3690fb152 ("vmw_balloon: stats rework")
