Subject: [PATCH] block: partition: initialize percpuref before sending out KOBJ_ADD
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 08:46:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459298791-32447-1-git-send-email-ming.lei@canonical.com> (raw)
The initialization of partition's percpu_ref should have been done before
sending out KOBJ_ADD uevent, which may cause userspace to read partition
table. So the uninitialized percpu_ref may be accessed in data path.
This patch fixes this issue reported by Naveen.
