[PATCH 3/3] x86/mce: Avoid using object after free in genpool
From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Apr 06 2016 - 04:06:49 EST
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>
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.
