This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled power: supply: bq27xxx: Fix kernel crash on IRQ handler register error to the 5.10-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: power-supply-bq27xxx-fix-kernel-crash-on-irq-handler.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8656697c4b92a6f2bba7a1a92a35ccd76d54b48b Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Oct 31 16:25:22 2021 +0100 power: supply: bq27xxx: Fix kernel crash on IRQ handler register error [ Upstream commit cdf10ffe8f626d8a2edc354abf063df0078b2d71 ] When registering the IRQ handler fails, do not just return the error code, this will free the devm_kzalloc()-ed data struct while leaving the queued work queued and the registered power_supply registered with both of them now pointing to free-ed memory, resulting in various kernel crashes soon afterwards. Instead properly tear-down things on IRQ handler register errors. Fixes: 703df6c09795 ("power: bq27xxx_battery: Reorganize I2C into a module") Cc: Andrew F.
