[PATCH RESEND v3 2/3] ACPI: battery: Fix possible crash when unregistering a battery hook

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

 



When a battery hook returns an error when adding a new battery, then
the battery hook is automatically unregistered.
However the battery hook provider cannot know that, so it will later
call battery_hook_unregister() on the already unregistered battery
hook, resulting in a crash.

Fix this by using the list head to mark already unregistered battery
hooks as already being unregistered so that they can be ignored by
battery_hook_unregister().

Fixes: fa93854f7a7e ("battery: Add the battery hooking API")
