This code calls kfree(bfr); and then passes "bfr" to rtk->ops->crashed()
which is a use after free. The ->crashed function pointer is implemented
by apple_nvme_rtkit_crashed() and it doesn't use the "bfr" pointer so
this doesn't cause a problem. But it still looks sketchy as can be.

Fix this by moving kfree() after the last usage of bfr.

Fixes: c559645f343a ("soc: apple: rtkit: Pass the crashlog to the
crashed() callback")

This commit isn't upstream yet afaict, did you mean to post a review comment
to [1] instead?


I made the patch based on linux-next, linux-next has the patch merged.

Thanks,
