Re: Possible null pointer dereference in rcar-dmac.ko

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

 



Anton Volkov noticed that engine->dev is NULL before
of_dma_controller_register() in probe.
Thus there might be a NULL pointer dereference in
rcar_dmac_chan_start_xfer while accessing chan->chan.device->dev which
is equal to (&dmac->engine)->dev.
To be more safety code, this patch initialize dmac->engine before it.

I created this patch because noone posted it yesterday.
Anton, you can use this patch and replace Author to you if you want.
Thus, I used [RFC] on this patch
