The range is registered into a linked list which can be referenced throughout the lifetime of the driver. Ensure the range's memory is useful for the same lifetime by adding it to the driver's private data structure. The bug was introduced in the driver's initial commit, which was present in v3.10. Signed-off-by: Andrew Jeffery <andrew@xxxxxxxx> Fixes: f0b9a7e521fa ("pinctrl: exynos5440: add pinctrl driver for Samsung EXYNOS5440 SoC") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- This is my first contribution to the kernel, so hopefully I've followed all the relevant documentation. If not, please let me know and point me in the right direction! I don't have the means to test the patch, but it compiles. Someone with appropriate hardware should probably give it a spin. drivers/pinctrl/samsung/pinctrl-exynos5440.c | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/samsung/pinctrl-exynos5440.c b/drivers/pinctrl/samsung/pinctrl-exynos5440.c index 00ab63abf1d9..d45028a75c0f 100644 --- a/drivers/pinctrl/samsung/pinctrl-exynos5440.c +++ b/drivers/pinctrl/samsung/pinctrl-exynos5440.c @@ -117,6 +117,7 @@ struct exynos5440_pinctrl_priv_data { unsigned int nr_groups; const struct exynos5440_pmx_func *pmx_functions; unsigned int nr_functions; + struct pinctrl_gpio_range range; }; /** @@ -742,7 +743,6 @@ static int exynos5440_pinctrl_register(struct platform_device *pdev, struct pinctrl_desc *ctrldesc; struct pinctrl_dev *pctl_dev; struct pinctrl_pin_desc *pindesc, *pdesc; - struct pinctrl_gpio_range grange; char *pin_names; int pin, ret; @@ -794,12 +794,12 @@ static int exynos5440_pinctrl_register(struct platform_device *pdev, return PTR_ERR(pctl_dev); } - grange.name = "exynos5440-pctrl-gpio-range"; - grange.id = 0; - grange.base = 0; - grange.npins = EXYNOS5440_MAX_PINS; - grange.gc = priv->gc; - pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl_dev, &grange); + priv->range.name = "exynos5440-pctrl-gpio-range"; + priv->range.id = 0; + priv->range.base = 0; + priv->range.npins = EXYNOS5440_MAX_PINS; + priv->range.gc = priv->gc; + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl_dev, &priv->range); return 0; } -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-gpio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
