3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> commit f38aed975c0c3645bbdfc5ebe35726e64caaf588 upstream. The logic of vfree()'ing vol->upd_buf is tied to vol->updating. In ubi_start_update() vol->updating is set long before vmalloc()'ing vol->upd_buf. If we encounter a write failure in ubi_start_update() before vmalloc() the UBI device release function will try to vfree() vol->upd_buf because vol->updating is set. Fix this by allocating vol->upd_buf directly after setting vol->updating.
