Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] Input: applespi - fix NULL pointer dereference in tp_dim open
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:49:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711114937.16670-3-fourdollars@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260711114937.16670-1-fourdollars@debian.org>
The tp_dim debugfs file is registered synchronously during driver probe
in applespi_probe(). However, the applespi->touchpad_input_dev is
initialized and registered asynchronously in the driver's worker thread.
If a userspace process opens the debugfs file before the worker thread
has completed initialization, applespi_tp_dim_open() will dereference
the NULL applespi->touchpad_input_dev pointer, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by using smp_load_acquire() to safely load touchpad_input_dev
and return -ENODEV if it is not yet initialized.
