From 802bf931f2688ad125b73db597ce63cc842fb27a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Travis Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 21:58:09 -0800 Subject: cpumask: fix bug in use cpumask_var_t in irq_desc Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed. As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers. Since the old_desc and the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if these old pointers are used. Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.
