Subject: Review: Fix use after free on forced shutdown
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:30:12 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061219053012.GY33919298@melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)
As found earlier today trying to reproduce a different use
after free, a machine with CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG will panic on
a forced shutdown if the inode has an assocaited item
in the AIL.
Trivial fix is to remove the item from the AIL before
freeing it.
Cheers,
Dave.
