[PATCH] x86/mce: Avoid using object after free in genpool.
From: Tony Luck
Date: Wed Mar 23 2016 - 12:51:08 EST
When we loop over all queued machine check error records to pass
them to the registered notifiers we use llist_for_each_entry().
But the loop calls gen_pool_free() for the entry in the body of
the loop - and then the iterator looks at node->next after the
free.
Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead.
