This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled power: supply: ab8500: Fix external_power_changed race to the 4.19-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-ab8500-fix-external_power_changed-race.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3b6a28dcd58f92cf4ad3903346b55f4cfb36c1d9 Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Apr 15 18:07:29 2023 +0200 power: supply: ab8500: Fix external_power_changed race [ Upstream commit a5299ce4e96f3e8930e9c051b28d8093ada87b08 ] ab8500_btemp_external_power_changed() dereferences di->btemp_psy, which gets sets in ab8500_btemp_probe() like this: di->btemp_psy = devm_power_supply_register(dev, &ab8500_btemp_desc, &psy_cfg); As soon as devm_power_supply_register() has called device_add() the external_power_changed callback can get called. So there is a window where ab8500_btemp_external_power_changed() may get called while di->btemp_psy has not been set yet leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fixing this is easy. The external_power_changed callback gets passed the power_supply which will eventually get stored in di->btemp_psy, so ab8500_btemp_external_power_changed() can simply directly use the passed in psy argument which is always valid. And the same applies to ab8500_fg_external_power_changed().
