Subject: [PATCH] multipath: fix libudev bug in sysfs_get_tgt_nodename
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:32:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120611213235.GE3211@ether.msp.redhat.com> (raw)

In a recent patch, I introduced a bug into sysfs_get_tgt_nodename().
multipath must not unreference the target udevice before it copies the
tgt_nodename to another location, otherwise the value pointer will be
pointing at freed memory.
