Subject: [PATCH] osst: don't doublefree pages from scatterlist
Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 19:56:55 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0602031955240.14829@goblin.wat.veritas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0602031842290.14065@goblin.wat.veritas.com>

On some architectures, mapping the scatterlist may coalesce entries:
if that coalesced list is then used for freeing the pages afterwards,
there's a danger that pages may be doubly freed (and others leaked).

Fix OnStream SCSI Tape's normalize_buffer by freeing from a second list
beyond the I/O scatterlist, saving page pointers with their lengths.
