From: Jackie Liu <liuyun01@kylinos.cn> mainline inclusion from mainline-5.4-rc1 commit 5f5ad9ced33621d353be6429c3900f8a526fcae8 category: feature bugzilla: https://bugzilla.openeuler.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27 CVE: NA --------------------------- There is a potential dangling pointer problem. we never clean shadow_req, if there are multiple link lists in this series of sqes, then the shadow_req will not reallocate, and continue to use the last one. but in the previous, his memory has been released, thus forming a dangling pointer. let's clean up him and make sure that every new link list can reapply for a new shadow_req.
