From 33ba0fa9f315ce32fbb86fa671c131f5355b52a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krishna Kumar Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 09:30:34 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/iwcm: Fix memory corruption bug in cm_work_handler() Possible memory corruption scenario: after putting the work entry back on the work_free_list, we call process_event() which dereferences work->event, which could have been modified to another value meanwhile.
