Here are current code, 2510 out_free_path: 2511 kfree(path); 2512 out_module_put: 2513 module_put(THIS_MODULE); 2514 out: 2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err); 2516 return ret; If some error happens and the above code path is executed, at line 2511 path is released, but referenced at line 2515. Then KASAN reports a use- after-free error message. This patch changes line 2515 in the following way to fix the problem, 2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path?path:"", err); Signed-off-by: Coly Li Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c index bd2ae1d78fe15..05cb94664efee 100644 --- a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c @@ -2475,10 +2475,11 @@ static ssize_t register_bcache(struct kobject *k, struct kobj_attribute *attr, kfree(sb); out_free_path: kfree(path); + path = NULL; out_module_put: module_put(THIS_MODULE); out: - pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err); + pr_info("error %s: %s", path?path:"", err); return ret; } -- 2.20.1
