[PATCH RFC 1/3] i2c: bcm2835: Avoid possible NULL ptr dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Since commit e2474541032d ("bcm2835: Fix hang for writing messages
larger than 16 bytes") the interrupt handler is prone to a possible
NULL pointer dereference. This could happen if an interrupt fires
before curr_msg is set by bcm2835_i2c_xfer_msg() and randomly occurs
on the RPi 3. Even this is an unexpected behavior the driver must
handle that with an error instead of a crash.
