[PATCH] mm,kexec,ima,x86: use memblock_free_late from ima_free_kexec_buffer
Posted by Rik van Riel 2 years, 4 months ago
The code calling ima_free_kexec_buffer runs long after the memblock
allocator has already been torn down, potentially resulting in a use
after free in memblock_isolate_range.

With KASAN or KFENCE, this use after free will result in a BUG
from the idle task, and a subsequent kernel panic.

Switch ima_free_kexec_buffer over to memblock_free_late to avoid
that issue.
