[ Upstream commit 72ce11ddfa4e9e1879103581a60b7e34547eaa0a ] In null_init, null_add_dev(dev) is called. In null_add_dev, it calls null_free_zoned_dev(dev) to free dev->zones via kvfree(dev->zones) in out_cleanup_zone branch and returns err. Then null_init accept the err code and then calls null_free_dev(dev). But in null_free_dev(dev), dev->zones is freed again by null_free_zoned_dev(). My patch set dev->zones to NULL in null_free_zoned_dev() after kvfree(dev->zones) is called, to avoid the double free.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
