Subject: module: fix refptr allocation and release order
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e2b75740bed35df98b8113300579e13ed2ce848;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

module: fix refptr allocation and release order

Impact: fix ref-after-free crash on failed module load

Fix refptr bug: Change refptr allocation and release order not to access a module
data structure pointed by 'mod' after freeing mod->module_core.
This bug will cause kernel panic(e.g. failed to find undefined symbols).

This bug was reported on systemtap bugzilla.
