Re: 4.12 NULL pointer dereference in kmem_cache_free on USB storage removal

[Yagmur Oymak]

Hello,

That patch fixes the problem, as far as I tested. However, it still is
not included in stable by 4.12.2. The problem persists there, and is
fixed when this patch is applied on top of it. What to to about it?

Thanks,

Yagmur Oymak.
