Wysocki Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 23:52:28 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ACPI / CPPC: Fix per-CPU pointer management in acpi_cppc_processor_probe() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=28076483afac9dd77df269f5d460e51a09dfb19f;p=linux-beck.git ACPI / CPPC: Fix per-CPU pointer management in acpi_cppc_processor_probe() Fix a possible use-after-free scenario in acpi_cppc_processor_probe() that can happen if the function returns without cleaning up the per-CPU pointer set by it previously.
