Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kexec: fix kexec_lock use in kexec_swap_images()
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:43:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384353829-3917-2-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1384353829-3917-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com>
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
CID 1128573
If a bad image type is supplied in a KEXECOP_unload hypercall, the
kexec_lock in kexec_swap_images() was left locked, causing a deadlock
on a subsequent image load or unload.
The kexec_lock is only required to serialize the swap operation
itself.
