[PATCH 1/2] drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/pxa_camera.c: reposition free_irq to avoid access to invalid data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

The data referenced by an interrupt handler should not be freed before the
interrupt is ended.  The handler is pxa_camera_irq.  This handler may call
pxa_dma_start_channels, which references the channels that are freed on the
lines before the call to free_irq.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@fn exists@
expression list es;
expression a,b;
identifier f;
@@

if (...) {
  ... when any
  free_irq(a,b);
  ... when any
  f(es);
  ... when any
  return ...;
}

@@
expression list fn.es;
expression fn.a,fn.b;
identifier fn.f;
@@

*f(es);
... when any
*free_irq(a,b);
// </smpl>

Not compiled.  I have not observed the problem in practice; the code just
looks suspicious.
