3.6.11.5 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Wang YanQing [ Upstream commit 2195b063f6609e4c6268f291683902f25eaf9aa6 ] The interrupt handler azx_interrupt will call azx_update_rirb, which may call snd_hda_queue_unsol_event, snd_hda_queue_unsol_event will dereference chip->bus pointer. The problem is we alloc chip->bus in azx_codec_create which will be called after we enable IRQ and enable unsolicited event in azx_probe. This will cause Oops due dereference NULL pointer. I meet it, good luck:) [Rearranged the NULL check before the tracepoint and added another NULL check of bus->workq -- tiwai] Signed-off-by: Wang YanQing Cc: Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c b/sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c index 558b6b0..693e890 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c @@ -609,6 +609,9 @@ int snd_hda_queue_unsol_event(struct hda_bus *bus, u32 res, u32 res_ex) struct hda_bus_unsolicited *unsol; unsigned int wp; + if (!bus || !bus->workq) + return 0; + trace_hda_unsol_event(bus, res, res_ex); unsol = bus->unsol; if (!unsol) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
