Subject: [PATCH 4.9 14/61] powerpc/msi: Fix NULL pointer access in teardown code

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Radu Rendec <radu.rendec@...il.com>

commit 78e7b15e17ac175e7eed9e21c6f92d03d3b0a6fa upstream.

The arch_teardown_msi_irqs() function assumes that controller ops
pointers were already checked in arch_setup_msi_irqs(), but this
assumption is wrong: arch_teardown_msi_irqs() can be called even when
arch_setup_msi_irqs() returns an error (-ENOSYS).

This can happen in the following scenario:
  - msi_capability_init() calls pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs()
  - pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() returns -ENOSYS
  - msi_capability_init() notices the error and calls free_msi_irqs()
  - free_msi_irqs() calls pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs()

This is easier to see when CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN is not set and
pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() and pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs() are just
aliases to arch_setup_msi_irqs() and arch_teardown_msi_irqs().

The call to free_msi_irqs() upon pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() failure
seems legit, as it does additional cleanup; e.g.
list_del(&entry->list) and kfree(entry) inside free_msi_irqs() do
happen (MSI descriptors are allocated before pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs()
is called and need to be cleaned up if that fails).
