From 7be0772d19103b3eac3c2e9ac325df2563273fdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Kuznetsov Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 16:27:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/xen: avoid freeing static 'name' when kasprintf() fails In case kasprintf() fails in xen_setup_timer() we assign name to the static string "". We, however, don't check that fact before issuing kfree() in xen_teardown_timer(), kernel is supposed to crash with 'kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3341!' Solve the issue by making name a fixed length string inside struct xen_clock_event_device. 16 bytes should be enough.
