Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:56:41 +0100 (CET) From: Stefan Richter Subject: firewire: fix panic in handle_at_packet This fixes a use-after-free bug in the handling of split transactions. The AT DMA handler of the request was occasionally executed after the AR DMA handler of the response. The AT DMA handler then accessed an already freed packet.
