From: Chen Ridong Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2025 07:07:15 +0000 (+0000) Subject: cgroup/psi: Set of->priv to NULL upon file release X-Git-Tag: v6.17-rc7~26^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=94a4acfec14615e971eb2c9e1fa6c992c85ff6c6;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git cgroup/psi: Set of->priv to NULL upon file release Setting of->priv to NULL when the file is released enables earlier bug detection. This allows potential bugs to manifest as NULL pointer dereferences rather than use-after-free errors[1], which are generally more difficult to diagnose.
