[PATCH net] s390/ism: folio_put() after error
From: Alexandra Winter
Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 11:17:00 EST
dmb->cpu_addr was allocated via folio_alloc(). Use folio_put() instead of
kfree() in the error exit of ism_alloc_dmb() to avoid slab allocator
corruption.
While at it, reset dmb->cpu_addr after folio_put to avoid unintentional UAF
by future callers.
Fixes: 83781384a96b ("s390/ism: Properly fix receive message buffer allocation")
