From accf74fff36315a31dc7319dae2927af06e9296f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 18:34:37 -0300 Subject: i7core_edac: don't use a freed mci struct This is a nasty bug. Since kobject count will be reduced by zero by edac_mc_del_mc(), and this triggers the kobj release method, the mci memory will be freed automatically. So, all we have left is ctl_name, as shown by enabling debug: [ 80.822186] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c, line at 1020: edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() remove_link [ 80.832590] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c, line at 1024: edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() remove_mci_instance [ 80.843776] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c, line at 640: edac_mci_control_release() mci instance idx=0 releasing [ 80.855163] EDAC MC: Removed device 0 for i7core_edac.c i7 core #0: DEV 0000:3f:03.0 [ 80.862936] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/i7core_edac.c, line at 2089: (null): free structs [ 80.871134] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/edac_mc.c, line at 238: edac_mc_free() [ 80.878379] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c, line at 726: edac_mc_unregister_sysfs_main_kobj() [ 80.888043] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/i7core_edac.c, line at 1232: drivers/edac/i7core_edac.c: i7core_put_devices() Also, kfree(mci) shouldn't happen at the kobj.release, as it happens when edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() is called, but the logic is: edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(mci); edac_printk(KERN_INFO, EDAC_MC, "Removed device %d for %s %s: DEV %s\n", mci->mc_idx, mci->mod_name, mci->ctl_name, edac_dev_name(mci)); So, as the edac_printk() needs the mci struct, this generates an OOPS.
