Here are current code, 2510 out_free_path: 2511 kfree(path); 2512 out_module_put: 2513 module_put(THIS_MODULE); 2514 out: 2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err); 2516 return ret; If some error happens and the above code path is executed, at line 2511 path is released, but referenced at line 2515. Then KASAN reports a use- after-free error message. This patch changes line 2515 in the following way to fix the problem, 2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path?path:"", err); Signed-off-by: Coly Li Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- diff --git a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c index ee7c87f38d0d4..fad9c6cbee5e0 100644 --- a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c @@ -2477,10 +2477,11 @@ out_free_sb: kfree(sb); out_free_path: kfree(path); + path = NULL; out_module_put: module_put(THIS_MODULE); out: - pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err); + pr_info("error %s: %s", path?path:"", err); return ret; }
