Previously the cp2112 driver called INIT_DELAYED_WORK within cp2112_gpio_irq_startup, resulting in duplicate initilizations of the workqueue on subsequent IRQ startups following an initial request. This resulted in a warning in set_work_data in workqueue.c, as well as a rare NULL dereference within process_one_work in workqueue.c. Initialize the workqueue within _probe instead. Signed-off-by: Danny Kaehn <danny.kaehn@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Note -- the warning & NULL dereference that were caused by this were completely decoupled from the driver code, making this a fairly tricky bug to track down. I wonder if there would be a way to add a WARN into __INIT_WORK if an already initialized workqueue is re-initialized without a lot of overhead... drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c b/drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c index 54c33a24f844..36f76c6dfa20 100644 --- a/drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c +++ b/drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c @@ -1151,8 +1151,6 @@ static unsigned int cp2112_gpio_irq_startup(struct irq_data *d) struct gpio_chip *gc = irq_data_get_irq_chip_data(d); struct cp2112_device *dev = gpiochip_get_data(gc); - INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&dev->gpio_poll_worker, cp2112_gpio_poll_callback); - if (!dev->gpio_poll) { dev->gpio_poll = true; schedule_delayed_work(&dev->gpio_poll_worker, 0); @@ -1307,6 +1305,8 @@ static int cp2112_probe(struct hid_device *hdev, const struct hid_device_id *id) girq->handler = handle_simple_irq; girq->threaded = true; + INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&dev->gpio_poll_worker, cp2112_gpio_poll_callback); + ret = gpiochip_add_data(&dev->gc, dev); if (ret < 0) { hid_err(hdev, "error registering gpio chip\n"); -- 2.25.1
