[PATCH 4.9 81/84] ACPI: ioapic: Clear on-stack resource before using it

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

commit e3d5092b6756b9e0b08f94bbeafcc7afe19f0996 upstream.

The on-stack resource-window 'win' in setup_res() is not
properly initialized. This causes the pointers in the
embedded 'struct resource' to contain stale addresses.

These pointers (in my case the ->child pointer) later get
propagated to the global iomem_resources list, causing a #GP
exception when the list is traversed in
iomem_map_sanity_check().

Fixes: c183619b63ec (x86/irq, ACPI: Implement ACPI driver to support IOAPIC hotplug)
