From c1b03ab5e886760bdd38c9c7a27af149046ffe01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Fuzzey Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:17:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iio: core: Fix double free. When an error occurred during event registration memory was freed twice resulting in kernel memory corruption and a crash in unrelated code. The problem was caused by iio_device_unregister_eventset() iio_device_unregister_sysfs() being called twice, once on the error path and then again via iio_dev_release(). Fix this by making these two functions idempotent so they may be called multiple times. The problem was observed before applying 78b33216 iio:core: Handle error when mask type is not separate Signed-off-by: Martin Fuzzey Cc: Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron --- drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c | 5 +++-- drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c | 1 + 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c b/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c index aaba9d3d980e..4df97f650e44 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c +++ b/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c @@ -847,8 +847,7 @@ static int iio_device_add_channel_sysfs(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, * @attr_list: List of IIO device attributes * * This function frees the memory allocated for each of the IIO device - * attributes in the list.
