Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] arm_mpam: Fix a NULL pointer dereference on unbinding after an error interrupt
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 15:46:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806144631.2502918-2-ben.horgan@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806144631.2502918-1-ben.horgan@arm.com>
If a user unbinds an MSC after mpam_disable() has been run in response
to an error interrupt then a dereference of a NULL pointer occurs as
mpam_disable() sets the drvdata to NULL. Add an early return to the driver
remove callback to avoid this.
Fixes: f04046f2577a ("arm_mpam: Add probe/remove for mpam msc driver and kbuild boiler plate")
