    tty/serial: atmel: use port->name as name in request_irq() · 9594b5be
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
    I was puzzled while looking at /proc/interrupts and random things showed
    up between reboots. This occurred more often but I realised it later. The
    "correct" output should be:
    |38:      11861  atmel-aic5   2 Level     ttyS0
    
    but I saw sometimes
    |38:       6426  atmel-aic5   2 Level     tty1
    
    and accounted it wrongly as correct. This is use after free and the
    former example randomly got the "old" pointer which pointed to the same
    content. With SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and HARDENED I even got
    |38:       7067  atmel-aic5   2 Level     E=Started User Manager for UID 0
    
    or other nonsense.
    As it turns out the tty, pointer that is accessed in atmel_startup(), is
    freed() before atmel_shutdown(). It seems to happen quite often that the
    tty for ttyS0 is allocated and freed while ->shutdown is not invoked. I
    don't do anything special - just a systemd boot :)
    
    Use dev_name(&pdev->dev) as the IRQ name for request_irq(). This exists
    as long as the driver is loaded so no use-after-free here.
