Subject: [ 14/23] ACPI / memhotplug: Fix a stale pointer in error path
Date: Fri,  2 Aug 2013 18:23:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130802102038.202630483@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130802102036.180660415@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>

commit d19f503e22316a84c39bc19445e0e4fdd49b3532 upstream.

device->driver_data needs to be cleared when releasing its data,
mem_device, in an error path of acpi_memory_device_add().

The function evaluates the _CRS of memory device objects, and fails
when it gets an unexpected resource or cannot allocate memory.  A
kernel crash or data corruption may occur when the kernel accesses
the stale pointer.
