From ee9397a6fb9bc4e52677f5e33eed4abee0f515e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 00:31:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix double-free of the AUX buffer If rb->aux_refcount is decremented to zero before rb->refcount, __rb_free_aux() may be called twice resulting in a double free of rb->aux_pages. Fix this by adding a check to __rb_free_aux().
