From 0a6d3a2a3813e7b25267366cfbf9a4a4698dd1c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Dike Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:38:47 -0700 Subject: uml: fix request->sector update It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count. In this case, the update will dereference a freed pointer. To avoid this, I delay the update until processing the next sg segment, when the request pointer is known to be good.
