The problem is we set "led_cdev->trigger = NULL;" and then dereference it when we call write_lock_irqsave(): write_lock_irqsave(&led_cdev->trigger->leddev_list_lock, flags); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Fixes: 2282e125a406 ("leds: triggers: let struct led_trigger::activate() return an error code") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/leds/led-triggers.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/leds/led-triggers.c b/drivers/leds/led-triggers.c index eff1bda8b520..13cea227277c 100644 --- a/drivers/leds/led-triggers.c +++ b/drivers/leds/led-triggers.c @@ -167,12 +167,12 @@ int led_trigger_set(struct led_classdev *led_cdev, struct led_trigger *trig) trig->deactivate(led_cdev); err_activate: - led_cdev->trigger = NULL; - led_cdev->trigger_data = NULL; write_lock_irqsave(&led_cdev->trigger->leddev_list_lock, flags); list_del(&led_cdev->trig_list); write_unlock_irqrestore(&led_cdev->trigger->leddev_list_lock, flags); + led_cdev->trigger = NULL; + led_cdev->trigger_data = NULL; led_set_brightness(led_cdev, LED_OFF); kfree(event); return ret; -- 2.20.1
