zram: protect sysfs handler from invalid memory access
commit 5863e10b441e7ea4b492f930f1be180a97d026f3 upstream. Use zram->init_lock to protect access to zram->meta, otherwise it may cause invalid memory access if zram->meta has been freed by zram_reset_device(). This issue may be triggered by: Thread 1: while true; do cat mem_used_total; done Thread 2: while true; do echo 8M > disksize; echo 1 > reset; done Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> [wyj: Backported to 3.4: adjust context] Signed-off-by: Yijing Wang <wangyijing@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
