From f65363cfa05fe60874030461a0eeb84b7e60cba4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Ellenberg Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:14:09 +0200 Subject: drbd: fix possible access after free If we release the page pointed to by md_io_tmpp, we need to zero out the pointer, too, as that may be used later to decide whether we need to allocate a new page again. Impact: a previously freed page may be used and clobbered. Depending on what that particular page is being used for meanwhile, this may result in silent data corruption of completely unrelated things. Only of concern on devices with logical_block_size != 512 byte, if you re-attach after becoming diskless once.
