Subject: [PATCH] IB: fix use-after-free in user verbs cleanup
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 18:00:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52u0hdqzqe.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)

Hi Andrew,

I'd like to get this into 2.6.13 if possible.  If it's too late, it's
not the end of the world -- we can wait for 2.6.13.1.  But it's a
tiny, obvious patch that fixes a crash that at least one person
actually hit running a normal application:
http://openib.org/pipermail/openib-general/2005-August/010248.html

Thanks,
  Roland


Fix a use-after-free bug in userspace verbs cleanup: we can't touch
mr->device after we free mr by calling ib_dereg_mr().
