Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] xen/blkback: don't free be structure too early
Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 17:28:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170518152849.1872-3-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170518152849.1872-1-jgross@suse.com>

The be structure must nor be freed when freeing the blkif structure
isn't done. Otherwise a use-after-free of be when unmapping the ring
used for communicating with the frontend will occur in case of a
late call of xenblk_disconnect() (e.g. due to an I/O still active
when trying to disconnect).
