From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 04 2014 - 15:55:59 EST
3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chao Bi <chao.bi@xxxxxxxxx>
commit accb884b32e82f943340688c9cd30290531e73e0 upstream.
In mei_cl_read_start(), if it fails to send flow control request, it
will release "cl->read_cb" but forget to set pointer to NULL, leaving
"cl->read_cb" still pointing to random memory, next time this client is
operated like mei_release(), it has chance to refer to this wrong pointer.
Fixes: PANIC at kfree in mei_release()
