From: Krzysztof Kozlowski Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 07:13:02 +0000 (+0900) Subject: power_supply: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference on early uevent X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7f1a57fdd6cb6e7be2ed31878a34655df38e1861;p=linux-beck.git power_supply: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference on early uevent Don't call the power_supply_changed() from power_supply_register() when parent is still probing because it may lead to accessing parent too early. In bq27x00_battery this caused NULL pointer exception because uevent of power_supply_changed called back the the get_property() method provided by the driver. The get_property() method accessed pointer which should be returned by power_supply_register(). Starting from bq27x00_battery_probe(): di->bat = power_supply_register() power_supply_changed() kobject_uevent() power_supply_uevent() power_supply_show_property() power_supply_get_property() bq27x00_battery_get_property() dereference of di->bat which is NULL here The dereference of di->bat (value returned by power_supply_register()) is the currently visible problem. However calling back the methods provided by driver before ending the probe may lead to accessing other driver-related data which is not yet initialized. The call to power_supply_changed() is postponed till probing ends - mutex of parent device is released. Reported-by: H.
