Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Avoid using object after free in genpool.
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 09:14:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0205920@agluck-desk.sc.intel.com> (raw)
When we loop over all queued machine check error records to pass
them to the registered notifiers we use llist_for_each_entry().
But the loop calls gen_pool_free() for the entry in the body of
the loop - and then the iterator looks at node->next after the
free.
Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead.
