From: Jiang Liu Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 16:07:22 +0000 (+0800) Subject: zram: avoid invalid memory access in zram_exit() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6030ea9b35971a4200062f010341ab832e878ac9;p=linux-beck.git zram: avoid invalid memory access in zram_exit() Memory for zram->disk object may have already been freed after returning from destroy_device(zram), then it's unsafe for zram_reset_device(zram) to access zram->disk again. We can't solve this bug by flipping the order of destroy_device(zram) and zram_reset_device(zram), that will cause deadlock issues to the zram sysfs handler. So fix it by holding an extra reference to zram->disk before calling destroy_device(zram).
