Subject: [PATCH v3] hrtimer: check hrtimer with a NULL function
Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2024 21:31:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240610133136.327-1-phil.chang@mediatek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87bk496seb.fsf@somnus>

To prevent improper usage of hrtimers and avoid potential kernel crashes,
this commit introduces a validation check for hrtimers with a valid function callback,
discard the hrtimers that have a NULL callback.

The `run_hrtimer` executes callbacks for every hrtimer,
and these callbacks must not be NULL. A NULL callback can lead to a kernel crash.
This update ensures that all hrtimers have properly initialized callbacks
before execution.
