Subject: [6.17 REGRESSION FIX] gpiolib: acpi: Fix using random stack memory during GPIO lookups
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2025 00:18:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250912221859.368173-1-hansg@kernel.org> (raw)

Before commit 8b4f52ef7a41 ("gpiolib: acpi: Deduplicate some code in
__acpi_find_gpio()") and the follow-up fix commit 7c010d463372 ("gpiolib:
acpi: Make sure we fill struct acpi_gpio_info"). The struct acpi_gpio_info
used during lookups was part of struct acpi_gpio_lookup which gets
memset() to 0 before use.

And then after a successful lookup, acpi_gpio_resource_lookup() would
copy the content of the zeroed acpi_gpio_lookup.info to the on
stack struct acpi_gpio_info in __acpi_find_gpio(), overwriting any
uninitialized memory contents there.

But now instead a pointer to the on stack struct acpi_gpio_info in
__acpi_find_gpio() is passed around, but that struct is never
initialized.

This passing around of the uninitialized struct breaks index based
lookups of GpioInt GPIOs because info->quirks now contains some random
on stack data which may contain ACPI_GPIO_QUIRK_ONLY_GPIOIO.

Initialize the on stack struct acpi_gpio_info to 0 to fix this.

Fixes: 8b4f52ef7a41 ("gpiolib: acpi: Deduplicate some code in __acpi_find_gpio()")
Fixes: 7c010d463372 ("gpiolib: acpi: Make sure we fill struct acpi_gpio_info")
