commit eddf3e9c7c7e4d0707c68d1bb22cc6ec8aef7d4a upstream.
The following crash was observed:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000158
Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP
pc : resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0
lr : resend_irqs+0x64/0xb0
...
Call trace:

The reason for this is that the interrupt resend mechanism happens in soft
interrupt context, which is a asynchronous mechanism versus other
operations on interrupts. free_irq() does not take resend handling into
account. Thus, the irq descriptor might be already freed before the resend
tasklet is executed. resend_irqs() does not check the return value of the
interrupt descriptor lookup and derefences the return value
unconditionally.
1):
__setup_irq
irq_startup
check_irq_resend // activate softirq to handle resend irq
2):
irq_domain_free_irqs
irq_free_descs
free_desc
call_rcu(&desc->rcu, delayed_free_desc)
3):
__do_softirq
tasklet_action
resend_irqs
desc = irq_to_desc(irq)
desc->handle_irq(desc) // desc is NULL --> Ooops
Fix this by adding a NULL pointer check in resend_irqs() before derefencing
the irq descriptor.
