Subject: rtc: ac100: Fix multiple race conditions
From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 994ec64c0a193940be7a6fd074668b9446d3b6c3 ]
The probe function is not allowed to fail after registering the RTC because
the following may happen:
CPU0: CPU1:
sys_load_module()
do_init_module()
do_one_initcall()
cmos_do_probe()
rtc_device_register()
__register_chrdev()
cdev->owner = struct module*
open("/dev/rtc0")
rtc_device_unregister()
module_put()
free_module()
module_free(mod->module_core)
/* struct module *module is now
freed */
chrdev_open()
spin_lock(cdev_lock)
cdev_get()
try_module_get()
module_is_live()
/* dereferences already
freed struct module* */
Also, the interrupt handler: ac100_rtc_irq() is dereferencing chip->rtc but
this may still be NULL when it is called, resulting in:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000194
pgd = (ptrval)
