[PATCH v2 4/6] mm, hwpoison: fix possible use-after-free in mf_dax_kill_procs()

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Mon Aug 22 2022 - 23:24:43 EST


After kill_procs(), tk will be freed without being removed from the to_kill
list. In the next iteration, the freed list entry in the to_kill list will
be accessed, thus leading to use-after-free issue. Adding list_del() in
kill_procs() to fix the issue.

Fixes: c36e20249571 ("mm: introduce mf_dax_kill_procs() for fsdax case")
