Current acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle() has an assumption that pci_bus->self is NULL on the root pci bus. But it might not true on some platforms. Because of this wrong assumption, current acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle() might return improper ACPI handle. We must check pci_bus->parent instead. This bug is the root cause of the following kernel panic reported by James Bottomley. This problem was introduced by the commit e8c331e963c58b83db24b7d0e39e8c07f687dbc6. The immediate cause was acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle() returned NULL unexpectedly and it was passed as the second argument of acpi_walk_namespace(). pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 IP: [<ffffffff8039646f>] acpi_ns_get_next_node+0xb/0x3c PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: CPU 0 Modules linked in: Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.28 #1 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8039646f>] [<ffffffff8039646f>] acpi_ns_get_next_node+0xb/0x3c RSP: 0018:ffff88007f87fd30 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffffffff8037d260 R09: ffff88007f87fdfc R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffffff80742040(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000010 CR3: 0000000000201000 CR4: 00000000000006a0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo ffff88007f87e000, task ffff88007f875040) Stack: 0000000000000000 ffffffff803964f5 ffff88007f81b728 0000000000001001 ffff88007f87fdfc ffffffff8037d260 0000000600000001 0000000000000000 ffffffff8037d260 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffff88007f87fdfc Call Trace: [<ffffffff803964f5>] acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0x55/0x138 [<ffffffff8037d260>] is_pci_dock_device+0x0/0x20 [<ffffffff8037d260>] is_pci_dock_device+0x0/0x20 [<ffffffff80394a9e>] acpi_walk_namespace+0x5f/0x83 [<ffffffff8037dd33>] detect_ejectable_slots+0x53/0x70 [<ffffffff8037de38>] add_bridge+0xe8/0x200 [<ffffffff80394aaa>] acpi_walk_namespace+0x6b/0x83 [<ffffffff803a4ad1>] acpi_pci_register_driver+0x48/0x61 [<ffffffff806fc5df>] acpiphp_init+0x0/0x58 [<ffffffff806fc732>] acpiphp_glue_init+0x4c/0x5a [<ffffffff806fc616>] acpiphp_init+0x37/0x58 [<ffffffff8020903b>] _stext+0x3b/0x180 [<ffffffff80312598>] create_proc_entry+0x58/0xa0 [<ffffffff802815d1>] register_irq_proc+0xc1/0xe0 [<ffffffff806db64b>] kernel_init+0x152/0x1ac [<ffffffff8023d970>] finish_task_switch+0x0/0x110 [<ffffffff8020ca7a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8020c47c>] restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff806db4f9>] kernel_init+0x0/0x1ac [<ffffffff8020ca70>] child_rip+0x0/0x20 Code: 89 c2 48 8b 00 48 85 c0 75 f5 48 8b 45 00 48 89 02 44 88 65 09 48 89 5d 00 31 c0 5b 5d 41 5c c3 53 48 85 d2 89 fb 48 89 d7 75 06 <48> 8b 56 10 eb 08 e8 73 f1 ff ff 48 89 c2 85 db 74 1a eb 13 0f RIP [<ffffffff8039646f>] acpi_ns_get_next_node+0xb/0x3c RSP <ffff88007f87fd30> CR2: 0000000000000010 ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]--- Signed-off-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/pci-acpi.h | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6.29-rc2/include/linux/pci-acpi.h =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.29-rc2.orig/include/linux/pci-acpi.h +++ linux-2.6.29-rc2/include/linux/pci-acpi.h @@ -63,11 +63,10 @@ static inline acpi_handle acpi_find_root static inline acpi_handle acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle(struct pci_bus *pbus) { - int seg = pci_domain_nr(pbus), busnr = pbus->number; - struct pci_dev *bridge = pbus->self; - if (bridge) - return DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE(&(bridge->dev)); - return acpi_get_pci_rootbridge_handle(seg, busnr); + if (pbus->parent) + return DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE(&(pbus->self->dev)); + return acpi_get_pci_rootbridge_handle(pci_domain_nr(pbus), + pbus->number); } #else #if !defined(AE_ERROR) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
