Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix NULL pointer dereference in ARINC653 free_vdata.
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 16:47:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383252473-3067-3-git-send-email-nate.studer@dornerworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1383252473-3067-1-git-send-email-nate.studer@dornerworks.com>
From: Nathan Studer <nate.studer@dornerworks.com>
The ARINC653 scheduler alloc_vdata function does not add the
idle cpu to its internal vcpu_list, but when the free_vdata
function is called, the scheduler attempted to remove the vcpu
from its internal vcpu_list, regardless of whether or not
the vcpu was the idle vcpu. Since the idle vcpu's list field
was never initialized, a NULL pointer was passed to list_del.
When using cpupools, this resulted in a crash when moving a cpu
from an arinc653 scheduler pool.
