[PATCH v2 7/7] serial: exar: fix: fix crash during shutdown if setup fails

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

 



From: Parker Newman <pnewman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a port fails to register with serial8250_register_8250_port the
kernel can crash when shutting down or module removal.

This is because "priv->line[i]" will be set to a negative error code
andin the exar_pci_remove function serial8250_unregister_port is called
without checking if the "priv->line[i]" value is valid.
