The config_log_add() function first calls config_log_put() with the variable 'cld' and then jumps to label 'out_cld', which will call the same function with the same 'cld' variable. However, at this point, 'cld' might have been already freed by the first invocation of config_log_put(). Even if we remove the invocation at that point, we will still get into trouble. This is because, in the error path, just below the label 'out_cld', we try to put 'params_cls' and 'sptlrpc_cld', which might also have been freed by config_log_put(). The point is that, config_llog_data::cld_sptlrpc and config_llog_data::cld_params members are assigned at the beginning of this function. To avoid this, do not call config_log_put() inside the else block, immediately jump to 'out_cld' instead. Moreover, remove assignments to config_llog_data::cld_sptlrpc and config_llog_data::cld_params at the beginning, since we already assign them below in the function with 'cld_lock' held. As an additional benefit, code size gets smaller. before: text data bss dec hex filename 26188 2256 4208 32652 7f8c drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/mgc/mgc_request.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 26092 2256 4208 32556 7f2c drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/mgc/mgc_request.o Signed-off-by: Cihangir Akturk <cakturk@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
