Subject: [PATCH] x86/intel_rdt: Fix locking in rdtgroup_schemata_write
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 09:14:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170411071446.15241-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)

Currently we release the schemata lock before we free the
resource's temporary tmp_cbms allocation, which could be
already used another concurrent access and crashed like:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
  IP: rdtgroup_schemata_write+0x2d1/0x460
  ...
  SNIP
  ...
  rdtgroup_file_write+0x1b/0x30
  kernfs_fop_write+0xe0/0x160
  vfs_write+0xbd/0x1e0
  SyS_write+0x7f/0xe0
  system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Moving the unlock after the release code.
