commit 833a426cc471b6088011b3d67f1dc4e147614647 upstream.
acpi_os_map_cleanup checks map->refcount outside of acpi_ioremap_lock
before freeing the map. This creates a race condition the can result
in the map being freed more than once.
A panic can be caused by running
for ((i=0; i<10; i++))
do
for ((j=0; j<100000; j++))
do
cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/data/BERT >/dev/null
done &
done
This patch makes sure that only the process that drops the reference
to 0 does the freeing.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
