[PATCH] gpiolib: Fix irq_disable() semantics

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

 



The implementation if .irq_disable() which kicks in between
the gpiolib and the driver is not properly mimicking the
expected semantics of the irqchip core: the irqchip will
call .irq_disable() if that exists, else it will call
mask_irq() which first checks if .irq_mask() is defined
before calling it.

Since we are calling it unconditionally, we get this bug
from drivers/pinctrl/qcom/pinctrl-ssbi-gpio.c, as it only
defines .irq_mask_ack and not .irq_mask:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = (ptrval)
(...)
PC is at 0x0
LR is at gpiochip_irq_disable+0x20/0x30

Fix this by only calling .irq_mask() if it exists.
