Subject: [PATCH 0/6] backlight: Fix Critical and High issues reported by Sashiko
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 18:39:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104183935.1214630-1-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
These issues were reported by Sashiko.
This series resolves the open Critical and High severity bug reports
identified by the Sashiko AI analysis tool (https://sashiko.dev) across
the Backlight subsystem:
1. lm3630a_bl: Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in lm3630a_pwm_ctrl()
when PWM mode is enabled by requesting the PWM device before
registering the backlight device.
2. aat2870_bl: Prevent a NULL pointer dereference on platform_get_drvdata()
during devm_backlight_device_register() by populating driver data and
scaling the initial brightness beforehand.
3. qcom-wled: Cancel wled->ovp_work on probe failure via
devm_delayed_work_autocancel() so a scheduled OVP work item cannot
fire after devm_kzalloc() frees struct wled.
4. qcom-wled: Manage wled->lock via devm_mutex_init() and remove
wled_remove() so devres unwinds the backlight device, threaded IRQs,
delayed work, and mutex in strict reverse registration order without
calling disable_irq() on unconfigured negative or zero IRQ numbers.
5. qcom-wled: Guard against calling a NULL
wled->wled_auto_detection_required() callback on WLED3 hardware when
an OVP fault interrupt fires.
6. qcom-wled: Avoid an AB-BA deadlock between wled->lock and the
threaded OVP IRQ handler by using disable_irq_nosync() in
wled_module_enable() and verifying under wled->lock that the module
remains enabled before running wled_auto_string_detection().
