[PATCH V3 07/17] genirq: Ensure IRQ descriptor is valid when setting-up the IRQ

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

 



In the function, setup_irq(), we don't check that the descriptor
returned from irq_to_desc() is valid before we start using it. For
example chip_bus_lock() called from setup_irq(), assumes that the
descriptor pointer is valid and doesn't check before dereferencing it.

In many other functions including setup/free_percpu_irq() we do check
that the descriptor returned is not NULL and therefore add the same test
to setup_irq() to ensure the descriptor returned is valid.
