The return value of ata_qc_from_tag() is checked in the whole kernel except for two calls in sata_dwc_isr(), which may lead to null-pointer-dereference. Add return value checks to avoid such case. Signed-off-by: Dinghao Liu <dinghao.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changelog: v2: - Refine commit message. Add return value check for another ata_qc_from_tag() call. --- drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c b/drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c index 9dcef6ac643b..f0ef844428bb 100644 --- a/drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c +++ b/drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c @@ -543,6 +543,11 @@ static irqreturn_t sata_dwc_isr(int irq, void *dev_instance) hsdev->sactive_issued |= qcmd_tag_to_mask(tag); qc = ata_qc_from_tag(ap, tag); + if (unlikely(!qc)) { + dev_err(ap->dev, "failed to get qc"); + handled = 1; + goto DONE; + } /* * Start FP DMA for NCQ command.
