Subject: [PATCH 3/7] tracing: fix a typo in tracing_cpumask_write()
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:42:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090615154410.950808103@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090615154226.058101204@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0003-tracing-fix-a-typo-in-tracing_cpumask_write.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1572 bytes --]
From: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>
It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed.
This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo:
# echo z > tracing_cpumask
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
And subsequent reads/writes to tracing_cpuamsk will access this
already-freed tracing_cpumask, thus may lead to crash.
[ Impact: fix leak and crash when writing invalid val to tracing_cpumask ]
