[PATCH 3.12 11/72] SUNRPC: Fix potential memory scribble in xprt_free_bc_request()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Apr 18 2014 - 05:52:52 EST


From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 628356791b04ea988fee070f66a748a823d001bb upstream.

The call to xprt_free_allocation() will call list_del() on
req->rq_bc_pa_list, which is not attached to a list.
This patch moves the list_del() out of xprt_free_allocation()
and into those callers that need it.
