3.6.11.7-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lai Jiangshan [ Upstream commit 72b5322f11ff0abf6a52b3007486656578d2c982 ] The @cn is stay in @clk_notifier_list after it is freed, it cause memory corruption. Example, if @clk is registered(first), unregistered(first), registered(second), unregistered(second). The freed @cn will be used when @clk is registered(second), and the bug will be happened when @clk is unregistered(second): [ 517.040000] clk_notif_dbg clk_notif_dbg.1: clk_notifier_unregister() [ 517.040000] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00df3008 [ 517.050000] pgd = ed858000 [ 517.050000] [00df3008] *pgd=00000000 [ 517.060000] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM [ 517.060000] Modules linked in: clk_notif_dbg(O-) [last unloaded: clk_notif_dbg] [ 517.060000] CPU: 1 PID: 499 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G O 3.10.0-rc3-00119-ga93cb29-dirty #85 [ 517.060000] task: ee1e0180 ti: ee3e6000 task.ti: ee3e6000 [ 517.060000] PC is at srcu_readers_seq_idx+0x48/0x84 [ 517.060000] LR is at srcu_readers_seq_idx+0x60/0x84 [ 517.060000] pc : [] lr : [] psr: 80070013 [ 517.060000] sp : ee3e7d48 ip : 00000000 fp : ee3e7d6c [ 517.060000] r10: 00000000 r9 : ee3e6000 r8 : 00000000 [ 517.060000] r7 : ed84fe4c r6 : c068ec90 r5 : c068e430 r4 : 00000000 [ 517.060000] r3 : 00df3000 r2 : 00000000 r1 : 00000002 r0 : 00000000 [ 517.060000] Flags: Nzcv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment user [ 517.060000] Control: 18c5387d Table: 2d85804a DAC: 00000015 [ 517.060000] Process modprobe (pid: 499, stack limit = 0xee3e6238) [ 517.060000] Stack: (0xee3e7d48 to 0xee3e8000) ....
