Subject: [PATCH] ksm: fix rmap_item use after free
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 16:45:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090603144552.GB30426@random.random> (raw)

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

This avoid crashing with slab debugging enabled by removing a window
for memory corruption if freed slab entries are reused before we read
the next pointer. Against mmotm.
