[PATCH 4/6] mm, hwpoison: fix possible use-after-free in mf_dax_kill_procs()

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Thu Aug 18 2022 - 09:01:00 EST


After kill_procs(), tk will be freed without being removed from the to_kill
list. In the next iteration, the freed list entry in the to_kill list will
be accessed, thus leading to use-after-free issue. Fix it by reinitializing
the to_kill list after unmap_and_kill().
