As reported by Dan in his report in [1], there is a potential NULL pointer derefence if these conditions are met : - there is no platform_data provided, ie. host->pdata = NULL Fix this by only using the platform data ro_invert when a gpio for read-only is provided by the platform data. This doesn't appear yet as every pxa board provides a platform_data, and calls pxa_set_mci_info() with a non NULL pointer. [1] [bug report] mmc: pxamci: fix card detect with slot-gpio API. The commit fd546ee6a7dc ("mmc: pxamci: fix card detect with slot-gpio API") from Sep 26, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c:809 pxamci_probe() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'host->pdata' (see line 798) Fixes: fd546ee6a7dc ("mmc: pxamci: fix card detect with slot-gpio API") Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c | 16 +++++++++------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c b/drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c index 86fac3e86833..c763b404510f 100644 --- a/drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c @@ -789,14 +789,16 @@ static int pxamci_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) gpio_direction_output(gpio_power, host->pdata->gpio_power_invert); } - if (gpio_is_valid(gpio_ro)) + if (gpio_is_valid(gpio_ro)) { ret = mmc_gpio_request_ro(mmc, gpio_ro); - if (ret) { - dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed requesting gpio_ro %d\n", gpio_ro); - goto out; - } else { - mmc->caps2 |= host->pdata->gpio_card_ro_invert ? - 0 : MMC_CAP2_RO_ACTIVE_HIGH; + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed requesting gpio_ro %d\n", + gpio_ro); + goto out; + } else { + mmc->caps2 |= host->pdata->gpio_card_ro_invert ? + 0 : MMC_CAP2_RO_ACTIVE_HIGH; + } } if (gpio_is_valid(gpio_cd)) -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
