In function 'neo_intr', the driver uses 'ch->ch_equeue' and 'ch->ch_reuque'. These two pointers are initialized in 'jsm_tty_open', but the interrupt handler 'neo_intr' has been registered in the probe progress. If 'jsm_tty_open' has not been called at this time, it will cause null pointer dereference. Once the driver registers the interrupt handler, the driver should be ready to handle it. Fix this by checking whether it is a null pointer. This log reveals it: [ 50.934983] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [ 50.938297] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 50.940075] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 50.940460] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 50.940654] Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI [ 50.940967] CPU: 2 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 5.12.4-g70e7f0549188-dirty #97 [ 50.941554] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.12.0-59-gc9ba5276e321-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 50.942419] RIP: 0010:memcpy_fromio+0x75/0xa0 [ 50.942759] Code: e9 02 f3 a5 41 f6 c5 02 74 02 66 a5 41 f6 c5 01 74 01 a4 e8 5d 93 6b ff 5b 41 5c 41 5d 5d c3 e8 51 93 6b ff 4c 89 e7 48 89 de <a4> 49 89 fc 48 89 f3 49 83 ed 01 eb a4 e8 39 93 6b ff 4c 89 e7 48 [ 50.944158] RSP: 0018:ffffc90000118df8 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 50.944559] RAX: ffff888100258000 RBX: ffffc90007f0030f RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 50.945114] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffc90007f0030f RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 50.945652] RBP: ffffc90000118e10 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 50.946192] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 50.946729] R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000007f0021e R15: 0000000000000000 [ 50.947279] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88817bc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 50.947912] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 50.948346] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000107950000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 50.948892] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 50.949429] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 50.949950] Call Trace: [ 50.950138] <IRQ> [ 50.950292] neo_copy_data_from_uart_to_queue+0x2f7/0x4e0 [ 50.950694] neo_intr+0x253/0x7a0 [ 50.950975] __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x53/0x3e0 [ 50.951352] handle_irq_event_percpu+0x35/0x90 [ 50.951706] handle_irq_event+0x39/0x60 [ 50.951999] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xc2/0x1d0 [ 50.952319] __common_interrupt+0x7f/0x150 [ 50.952638] common_interrupt+0xb4/0xd0 [ 50.952954] </IRQ> [ 50.953136] asm_common_interrupt+0x1e/0x40 [ 50.969513] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt [ 50.970151] Dumping ftrace buffer: [ 50.970420] (ftrace buffer empty) [ 50.970693] Kernel Offset: disabled [ 50.970968] Rebooting in 1 seconds..
