This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/irq: Validate that irq descriptor is still active to the 4.4-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: x86-irq-validate-that-irq-descriptor-is-still-active.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 36f34c8c63da3e272fd66f91089228c22d2b6e8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:30:45 +0000 Subject: x86/irq: Validate that irq descriptor is still active From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 36f34c8c63da3e272fd66f91089228c22d2b6e8b upstream. In fixup_irqs() we unconditionally dereference the irq chip of an irq descriptor. The descriptor might still be valid, but already cleaned up, i.e. the chip removed. Add a check for this condition.
