Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / DMAR: Avoid passing NULL to acpi_put_table()
Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2017 01:24:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3112193.PjflRgTHFW@aspire.rjw.lan> (raw)
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Linus reported that commit 174cc7187e6f "ACPICA: Tables: Back port
acpi_get_table_with_size() and early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() from
Linux kernel" added a new warning on his desktop system:
ACPI Warning: Table ffffffff9fe6c0a0, Validation count is zero before decrement
which turns out to come from the acpi_put_table() in
detect_intel_iommu().
This happens if the DMAR table is not present in which case NULL is
passed to acpi_put_table() which doesn't check against that and
attempts to handle it regardless.
For this reason, check the pointer passed to acpi_put_table()
before invoking it.
Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Fixes: 6b11d1d67713 ("ACPI / osl: Remove acpi_get_table_with_size()/early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() users")
