If it is this means that INIT_LIST_HEAD has not > been called on the list and the correct fix is to make sure that it is called. Exactly. If the channels-attributes have not been set, INIT_LIST_HEAD (called through __iio_add_event_config_attrs) is not called. So, should we just stop instantiating the device if it does not have channel information? > >> + list_for_each_entry(p, >> + &indio_dev->event_interface->dev_attr_list, >> + l) >> + indio_dev->event_interface->group.attrs[attrn++] = >> + &p->dev_attr.attr; >> + >> indio_dev->groups[indio_dev->groupcounter++] = >> &indio_dev->event_interface->group; >> >> @@ -447,7 +449,9 @@ void iio_device_unregister_eventset(struct iio_dev *indio_dev) >> { >> if (indio_dev->event_interface == NULL) >> return; >> - __iio_remove_event_config_attrs(indio_dev); >> - kfree(indio_dev->event_interface->group.attrs); >> + if (indio_dev->event_interface->dev_attr_list.next) >> + __iio_remove_event_config_attrs(indio_dev); > Same here. > >> + if (indio_dev->event_interface->group.attrs) >> + kfree(indio_dev->event_interface->group.attrs); > kfree does a check for NULL itself. > >> kfree(indio_dev->event_interface); >> } >> >> -- >> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in >> the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
