From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f5e5677c420346b4e9788051c2e4d750996c428c upstream. NULL pointer exception happens occasionally on serial output initiated by login timeout. This was reproduced only if kernel was built with significant debugging options and EDMA driver is used with serial console. col-vf50 login: root Password: Login timed out after 60 seconds. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000044 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM CPU: 0 PID: 157 Comm: login Not tainted 5.7.0-next-20200610-dirty #4 Hardware name: Freescale Vybrid VF5xx/VF6xx (Device Tree) (fsl_edma_tx_handler) from [<8016eb10>] (__handle_irq_event_percpu+0x64/0x304) (__handle_irq_event_percpu) from [<8016eddc>] (handle_irq_event_percpu+0x2c/0x7c) (handle_irq_event_percpu) from [<8016ee64>] (handle_irq_event+0x38/0x5c) (handle_irq_event) from [<801729e4>] (handle_fasteoi_irq+0xa4/0x160) (handle_fasteoi_irq) from [<8016ddcc>] (generic_handle_irq+0x34/0x44) (generic_handle_irq) from [<8016e40c>] (__handle_domain_irq+0x54/0xa8) (__handle_domain_irq) from [<80508bc8>] (gic_handle_irq+0x4c/0x80) (gic_handle_irq) from [<80100af0>] (__irq_svc+0x70/0x98) Exception stack(0x8459fe80 to 0x8459fec8) fe80: 72286b00 e3359f64 00000001 0000412d a0070013 85c98840 85c98840 a0070013 fea0: 8054e0d4 00000000 00000002 00000000 00000002 8459fed0 8081fbe8 8081fbec fec0: 60070013 ffffffff (__irq_svc) from [<8081fbec>] (_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x30/0x58) (_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore) from [<8056cb48>] (uart_flush_buffer+0x88/0xf8) (uart_flush_buffer) from [<80554e60>] (tty_ldisc_hangup+0x38/0x1ac) (tty_ldisc_hangup) from [<8054c7f4>] (__tty_hangup+0x158/0x2bc) (__tty_hangup) from [<80557b90>] (disassociate_ctty.part.1+0x30/0x23c) (disassociate_ctty.part.1) from [<8011fc18>] (do_exit+0x580/0xba0) (do_exit) from [<801214f8>] (do_group_exit+0x3c/0xb4) (do_group_exit) from [<80121580>] (__wake_up_parent+0x0/0x14) Issue looks like race condition between interrupt handler fsl_edma_tx_handler() (called as result of fsl_edma_xfer_desc()) and terminating the transfer with fsl_edma_terminate_all(). The fsl_edma_tx_handler() handles interrupt for a transfer with already freed edesc and idle==true.
