From 5a99e95b8d1cd47f6feddcdca6c71d22060df8a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Weijie Yang Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 14:50:57 -0700 Subject: zram: avoid NULL pointer access in concurrent situation There is a rare NULL pointer bug in mem_used_total_show() and mem_used_max_store() in concurrent situation, like this: zram is not initialized, process A is a mem_used_total reader which runs periodically, while process B try to init zram. process A process B access meta, get a NULL value init zram, done init_done() is true access meta->mem_pool, get a NULL pointer BUG This patch fixes this issue.
