When the clk_get() of "uart" clock returns EPROBE_DEFER, the next re-probe finishes with success but uses invalid (ERR_PTR) values. This leads to dereferencing of ERR_PTR stored under ourport->clk: 12c30000.serial: Controller clock not found (...) 12c30000.serial: ttySAC3 at MMIO 0x12c30000 (irq = 61, base_baud = 0) is a S3C6400/10 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffdfb (clk_prepare) from [<c039f7d0>] (s3c24xx_serial_pm+0x20/0x128) (s3c24xx_serial_pm) from [<c0395414>] (uart_change_pm+0x38/0x40) (uart_change_pm) from [<c039689c>] (uart_add_one_port+0x31c/0x44c) (uart_add_one_port) from [<c03a035c>] (s3c24xx_serial_probe+0x2a8/0x418) (s3c24xx_serial_probe) from [<c03ee110>] (platform_drv_probe+0x50/0xb0) (platform_drv_probe) from [<c03ecb44>] (driver_probe_device+0x1f4/0x2b0) (driver_probe_device) from [<c03eb0c0>] (bus_for_each_drv+0x44/0x8c) (bus_for_each_drv) from [<c03ec8c8>] (__device_attach+0x9c/0x100) (__device_attach) from [<c03ebf54>] (bus_probe_device+0x84/0x8c) (bus_probe_device) from [<c03ec388>] (deferred_probe_work_func+0x60/0x8c) (deferred_probe_work_func) from [<c012fee4>] (process_one_work+0x120/0x328) (process_one_work) from [<c0130150>] (worker_thread+0x2c/0x4ac) (worker_thread) from [<c0135320>] (kthread+0xd8/0xf4) (kthread) from [<c0107978>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c) The first unsuccessful clk_get() causes s3c24xx_serial_init_port() to exit with failure but the s3c24xx_uart_port is left half-configured (e.g. port->mapbase is set, clk contains ERR_PTR). On next re-probe, the function s3c24xx_serial_init_port() will exit early with success because of configured port->mapbase and driver will use old values, including the ERR_PTR as clock. Fix this by cleaning the port->mapbase on error path so each re-probe will initialize all of the port settings. Fixes: 60e93575476f ("serial: samsung: enable clock before clearing pending interrupts during init") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: 1. Apply suggestion from Bartlomiej (offline) that early check for port->mapbase in s3c24xx_serial_init_port() should fail if it is already set. The port->mapbase is now always cleared when probe fails, so re-probing with 'port->mapbase != 0' is unexpected. --- drivers/tty/serial/samsung.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/samsung.c b/drivers/tty/serial/samsung.c index 99bb23161dd6..f0bd2ec0db59 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/samsung.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/samsung.c @@ -1684,7 +1684,7 @@ static int s3c24xx_serial_init_port(struct s3c24xx_uart_port *ourport, return -ENODEV; if (port->mapbase != 0) - return 0; + return -EINVAL; /* setup info for port */ port->dev = &platdev->dev; @@ -1738,22 +1738,25 @@ static int s3c24xx_serial_init_port(struct s3c24xx_uart_port *ourport, ourport->dma = devm_kzalloc(port->dev, sizeof(*ourport->dma), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!ourport->dma) - return -ENOMEM; + if (!ourport->dma) { + ret = -ENOMEM; + goto err; + } } ourport->clk = clk_get(&platdev->dev, "uart"); if (IS_ERR(ourport->clk)) { pr_err("%s: Controller clock not found\n", dev_name(&platdev->dev)); - return PTR_ERR(ourport->clk); + ret = PTR_ERR(ourport->clk); + goto err; } ret = clk_prepare_enable(ourport->clk); if (ret) { pr_err("uart: clock failed to prepare+enable: %d\n", ret); clk_put(ourport->clk); - return ret; + goto err; } /* Keep all interrupts masked and cleared */ @@ -1769,7 +1772,12 @@ static int s3c24xx_serial_init_port(struct s3c24xx_uart_port *ourport, /* reset the fifos (and setup the uart) */ s3c24xx_serial_resetport(port, cfg); + return 0; + +err: + port->mapbase = 0; + return ret; } /* Device driver serial port probe */ -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
