Subject: [PATCH 09/16] FIX [1/2] slub: Do not dereference NULL pointer in node_match
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:12:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360771932-27150-10-git-send-email-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360771932-27150-1-git-send-email-bigeasy@linutronix.de>
From: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>
The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore
the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing
of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg
succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are
able to perform the same allocation from the freelist.
Check for the NULL pointer in node_match.
A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.
