From 13863a66c9c8a663665445cf05d68de96ff31830 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 23:14:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] genirq: Prevent potential NULL dereference in irq_set_irq_wake() In kernel/irq/manage.c::irq_set_irq_wake() we call irq_get_desc_buslock() which may return NULL, but the code dereferences the result unconditionally. irq_set_irq_wake() has lots of callers - I checked a few and I couldn't find anything that guarantees that they won't call it with some input that will cause irq_get_desc_buslock() to return NULL, so I think it's a good thing to test and -EINVAL was the most sane error code in this situation that I could think of. Not all callers test the return value of irq_set_irq_wake(), but those that do take != 0 to mean error as far as I can see, so they should be fine. I guess those that don't test actually should, but that's a different issue.
