Subject: [PATCH 1/2] devfreq: fix use after free in devfreq_remove_device
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:28:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320910091.7431.1.camel@phoenix> (raw)

In devfreq_remove_device, calling _remove_devfreq will also free devfreq.
Don't dereference devfreq->governor->no_central_polling after _remove_devfreq.
