Subject[PATCH 3.12 74/98] bcache: fix cache_set_flush() NULL pointer dereference on OOM
Message-ID<rmKem-6GA-35@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Eric Wheeler <git@linux.ewheeler.net>

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

===============

commit f8b11260a445169989d01df75d35af0f56178f95 upstream.

When bch_cache_set_alloc() fails to kzalloc the cache_set, the
asyncronous closure handling tries to dereference a cache_set that
hadn't yet been allocated inside of cache_set_flush() which is called
by __cache_set_unregister() during cleanup.  This appears to happen only
during an OOM condition on bcache_register.
