| |
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
commit 8a52da632ceb9d8b776494563df579e87b7b586b upstream.
The debugging code using the freed structure is moved before the kfree.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl> @free@ expression E; position p; @@ kfree@p(E)
@@ expression free.E, subE<=free.E, E1; position free.p; @@
kfree@p(E) ... ( subE = E1 | * E ) // </smpl>
