This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled zram: protect sysfs handler from invalid memory access to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 13a9ce91021b81ead5e38106d960b6b31266e529 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 00:07:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] zram: protect sysfs handler from invalid memory access commit 5863e10b441e7ea4b492f930f1be180a97d026f3 upstream. Use zram->init_lock to protect access to zram->meta, otherwise it may cause invalid memory access if zram->meta has been freed by zram_reset_device().
