Jens Axboe 61febef40b dm-rq: don't dereference request payload after ending request
Bart reported a case where dm would crash with use-after-free
poison. This is due to dm_softirq_done() accessing memory
associated with a request after calling end_request on it.
This is most visible on !blk-mq, since we free the memory
immediately for that case.

Reported-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com>
Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Fixes: eb8db831be ("dm: always defer request allocation to the owner of the request_queue")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
