[PATCH master] block: fix calling cdev_get_block_device with partitions

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

 



For partitions, cdev->priv references the parent block device.
Doing the pointer arithmetic in container_of will result in an
out-of-bounds access. Do what the rest of the code does
and access cdev->priv instead.

Fixes: 84173bf3d0cc ("block: set S_IFBLK for block devices instead of S_IFCHR")
