3.13.11-ckt18 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
commit 22aa66a3ee5b61e0f4a0bfeabcaa567861109ec3 upstream.
When the snapshot target is unloaded, snapshot_dtr() waits until pending_exceptions_count drops to zero. Then, it destroys the snapshot. Therefore, the function that decrements pending_exceptions_count should not touch the snapshot structure after the decrement.
pending_complete() calls free_pending_exception(), which decrements pending_exceptions_count, and then it performs up_write(&s->lock) and it calls retry_origin_bios() which dereferences s->origin. These two memory accesses to the fields of the snapshot may touch the dm_snapshot struture after it is freed.
This patch moves the call to free_pending_exception() to the end of pending_complete(), so that the snapshot will not be destroyed while pending_complete() is in progress.
