From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:18:48 +0000 (+0300) Subject: NFS: null dereference in dev_remove() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e138ead73f872559778bb0c326e795206f96d3ce;p=mv-sheeva.git NFS: null dereference in dev_remove() In commit 5ffaf85541 "NFS: replace global bl_wq with per-net one" we made "msg" a pointer instead of a struct stored in stack memory. But we forgot to change the memset() here so we're still clearing stack memory instead clearing the struct like we intended. It will lead to a kernel crash.
