Subject: [27/27] kprobes: initialize before using a hlist
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:41:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120123234203.966354768@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120123234224.GA19510@kroah.com>
2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com>
commit d496aab567e7e52b3e974c9192a5de6e77dce32c upstream.
Commit ef53d9c5e ("kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed
locking") introduced a bug where we can potentially leak
kretprobe_instances since we initialize a hlist head after having used
it.
Initialize the hlist head before using it.
