The patch "bcache: rework error unwinding in register_bcache" introduces
a use-after-free regression in register_bcache(). Here are current code,
2510 out_free_path:
2511 kfree(path);
2512 out_module_put:
2513 module_put(THIS_MODULE);
2514 out:
2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err);
2516 return ret;
If some error happens and the above code path is executed, at line 2511
path is released, but referenced at line 2515. Then KASAN reports a use-
after-free error message.
This patch changes line 2515 in the following way to fix the problem,
2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path?path:"", err);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
