This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: rawnand: meson: initialize struct with zeroes to the 6.2-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: mtd-rawnand-meson-initialize-struct-with-zeroes.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7cf3bdcee3e42b78e2e4f8f50ff3eeaea570f6ae Author: Arseniy Krasnov <AVKrasnov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 27 13:24:25 2023 +0300 mtd: rawnand: meson: initialize struct with zeroes [ Upstream commit 4ce341de6c02d02aba7c78a6447ccfcaa9eeb328 ] This structure must be zeroed, because it's field 'hw->core' is used as 'parent' in 'clk_core_fill_parent_index()', but it will be uninitialized. This happens, because when this struct is not zeroed, pointer 'hw' is "initialized" by garbage, which is valid pointer, but points to some garbage. So 'hw' will be dereferenced, but 'core' contains some random data which will be interpreted as a pointer. The following backtrace is result of dereference of such pointer: [ 1.081319] __clk_register+0x414/0x820 [ 1.085113] devm_clk_register+0x64/0xd0 [ 1.088995] meson_nfc_probe+0x258/0x6ec [ 1.092875] platform_probe+0x70/0xf0 [ 1.096498] really_probe+0xc8/0x3e0 [ 1.100034] __driver_probe_device+0x84/0x190 [ 1.104346] driver_probe_device+0x44/0x120 [ 1.108487] __driver_attach+0xb4/0x220 [ 1.112282] bus_for_each_dev+0x78/0xd0 [ 1.116077] driver_attach+0x2c/0x40 [ 1.119613] bus_add_driver+0x184/0x240 [ 1.123408] driver_register+0x80/0x140 [ 1.127203] __platform_driver_register+0x30/0x40 [ 1.131860] meson_nfc_driver_init+0x24/0x30 Fixes: 1e4d3ba66888 ("mtd: rawnand: meson: fix the clock") Signed-off-by: Arseniy Krasnov <AVKrasnov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Neil Armstrong <neil.armstrong@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20230227102425.793841-1-AVKrasnov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/mtd/nand/raw/meson_nand.c b/drivers/mtd/nand/raw/meson_nand.c index 5ee01231ac4cd..30e326adabfc1 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/nand/raw/meson_nand.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/nand/raw/meson_nand.c @@ -991,7 +991,7 @@ static const struct mtd_ooblayout_ops meson_ooblayout_ops = { static int meson_nfc_clk_init(struct meson_nfc *nfc) { - struct clk_parent_data nfc_divider_parent_data[1]; + struct clk_parent_data nfc_divider_parent_data[1] = {0}; struct clk_init_data init = {0}; int ret;
