TCPM may receive PD messages associated with unknown or unsupported

will return NULL. The tcpm code does not currently take this into
account. This results in crashes.

Ignore PD messages if the asociated alternate mode is not supported.

Taking a stab at the problem. I don't really know if this is the correct
fix, or even if my understanding of the problem is correct, thus marking
the patch as RFC.

My guess is that typec_match_altmode() is the real culprit. We can't
rely on the partner mode index number when identifying the port alt
mode.

Douglas, can you test the attached hack instead of this patch?


thanks,

I understand that typec_altmode_get_partner() returns a const *;
maybe adev should be declared as const struct typec_altmode *
instead of using a typecast.

Yes...

Also, typec_altmode_get_partner() can return NULL as well if pdev is NULL.
Is it guaranteed that typec_match_altmode() never returns NULL for pdev ?

...and probable no. But I don't think we can receive Attention to a
mode that hasn't been entered.


If I understand correctly, the Attention was generated by a test system.
What prevents badly implemented code in the connected system from sending
such an Attention message ?

Thanks,
Guenter
