This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: bt8xx: Fix a missing check bug in bt878_probe to the 5.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: media-bt8xx-fix-a-missing-check-bug-in-bt878_probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 99388cabd7cb785fdf43f0abbff721e134a0791f Author: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 12 17:18:36 2021 +0200 media: bt8xx: Fix a missing check bug in bt878_probe [ Upstream commit 1a4520090681853e6b850cbe54b27247a013e0e5 ] In 'bt878_irq', the driver calls 'tasklet_schedule', but this tasklet is set in 'dvb_bt8xx_load_card' of another driver 'dvb-bt8xx'. However, this two drivers are separate. The user may not load the 'dvb-bt8xx' driver when loading the 'bt8xx' driver, that is, the tasklet has not been initialized when 'tasklet_schedule' is called, so it is necessary to check whether the tasklet is initialized in 'bt878_probe'. Fix this by adding a check at the end of bt878_probe. The KASAN's report reveals it: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 PGD 800000006aab2067 P4D 800000006aab2067 PUD 6b2ea067 PMD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI CPU: 2 PID: 8724 Comm: syz-executor.0 Not tainted 4.19.177- gdba4159c14ef-dirty #40 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.12.0-59- gc9ba5276e321-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010: (null) Code: Bad RIP value.
