[PATCH 4.4 001/163] block: partition: initialize percpuref before sending out KOBJ_ADD

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>

commit b30a337ca27c4f40439e4bfb290cba5f88d73bb7 upstream.

The initialization of partition's percpu_ref should have been done before
sending out KOBJ_ADD uevent, which may cause userspace to read partition
table. So the uninitialized percpu_ref may be accessed in data path.

This patch fixes this issue reported by Naveen.
