Subject: [RESEND PATCH] iio: core: Fix double free.
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:17:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150219141744.27201.80796.stgit@localhost> (raw)
When an error occurred during event registration memory was freed twice
resulting in kernel memory corruption and a crash in unrelated code.
The problem was caused by
iio_device_unregister_eventset()
iio_device_unregister_sysfs()
being called twice, once on the error path and then
again via iio_dev_release().
Fix this by making these two functions idempotent so they
may be called multiple times.
The problem was observed before applying
78b33216 iio:core: Handle error when mask type is not separate
