commit 6e5cf31fbe651bed7ba1df768f2e123531132417 upstream.
threshold_create_bank() creates a bank descriptor per MCA error
thresholding counter which can be controlled over sysfs. It publishes
the pointer to that bank in a per-CPU variable and then goes on to
create additional thresholding blocks if the bank has such.
However, that creation of additional blocks in
allocate_threshold_blocks() can fail, leading to a use-after-free
through the per-CPU pointer.
Therefore, publish that pointer only after all blocks have been setup
successfully.

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.
