module: Fix use-after-free bug in read_file_mod_stats()
Smatch warns: kernel/module/stats.c:394 read_file_mod_stats() warn: passing freed memory 'buf' We are passing 'buf' to simple_read_from_buffer() after freeing it. Fix this by changing the order of 'simple_read_from_buffer' and 'kfree'. Fixes: df3e764d8e5c ("module: add debug stats to help identify memory pressure") Signed-off-by: Harshit Mogalapalli <harshit.m.mogalapalli@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
