From c093ee4f07f46d3a835841cafa07514fa94878d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2010 17:45:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] floppy: fix use-after-free in module load failure path Commit 488211844e0c ("floppy: switch to one queue per drive instead of sharing a queue") introduced a use-after-free. We do "put_disk()" on the disk device _before_ we then clean up the queue associated with that disk. Move the put_disk() down to avoid dereferencing a free'd data structure.
