Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc.c: don't dereference possible NULL pointer in __vunmap.
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 17:10:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181228171009.22269-1-liviu@dudau.co.uk> (raw)
find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to dereference
it without checking it first. Use the existing find_vm_area() function
which does exactly what we want and checks for the NULL pointer.
Fixes: f3c01d2f3ade ("mm: vmalloc: avoid racy handling of debugobjects
in vunmap")
