Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 073/170] bcache: fix cache_set_flush() NULL pointer dereference on OOM
3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Eric Wheeler <git@...ux.ewheeler.net>
commit f8b11260a445169989d01df75d35af0f56178f95 upstream.
When bch_cache_set_alloc() fails to kzalloc the cache_set, the
asyncronous closure handling tries to dereference a cache_set that
hadn't yet been allocated inside of cache_set_flush() which is called
by __cache_set_unregister() during cleanup. This appears to happen only
during an OOM condition on bcache_register.
