[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] bcache: fix memory corruption in init error path

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

 



From: Slava Pestov <sp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit c9a78332b42cbdcdd386a95192a716b67d1711a4 upstream.

If register_cache_set() failed, we would touch ca->set after
it had already been freed. Also, fix an assertion to catch
this.
