Subject: [PATCH] IB: fix use-after-free in user verbs cleanup
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 18:00:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52u0hdqzqe.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)
Hi Andrew,
I'd like to get this into 2.6.13 if possible. If it's too late, it's
not the end of the world -- we can wait for 2.6.13.1. But it's a
tiny, obvious patch that fixes a crash that at least one person
actually hit running a normal application:

Thanks,
Roland
Fix a use-after-free bug in userspace verbs cleanup: we can't touch
mr->device after we free mr by calling ib_dereg_mr().
