genirq: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in resend_irqs()
commit eddf3e9c upstream. The following crash was observed: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000158 Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP pc : resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0 lr : resend_irqs+0x64/0xb0 ... Call trace: resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0 tasklet_action_common.isra.6+0x84/0x138 tasklet_action+0x2c/0x38 __do_softirq+0x120/0x324 run_ksoftirqd+0x44/0x60 smpboot_thread_fn+0x1ac/0x1e8 kthread+0x134/0x138 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 The reason for this is that the interrupt resend mechanism happens in soft interrupt context, which is a asynchronous mechanism versus other operations on interrupts. free_irq() does not take resend handling into account. Thus, the irq descriptor might be already freed before the resend tasklet is executed. resend_irqs() does not check the return value of the interrupt descriptor lookup and derefences the return value unconditionally. 1): __setup_irq irq_startup check_irq_resend // activate softirq to handle resend irq 2): irq_domain_free_irqs irq_free_descs free_desc call_rcu(&desc->rcu, delayed_free_desc) 3): __do_softirq tasklet_action resend_irqs desc = irq_to_desc(irq) desc->handle_irq(desc) // desc is NULL --> Ooops Fix this by adding a NULL pointer check in resend_irqs() before derefencing the irq descriptor.
