Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-5.10] mmc: davinci: avoid NULL deref of host->data in IRQ handler
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:27:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831133314.4125787-435-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831133314.4125787-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 4f28846aaf8db9668e338b8987973f8935edff34 ]

mmc_davinci_irq() returns early only when both host->cmd and
host->data are NULL:

  if (host->cmd == NULL && host->data == NULL) {
          ...
          return IRQ_NONE;
  }

So we may legitimately reach the rest of the handler with
host->data == NULL (and therefore data == NULL). The DATDNE branch
already guards against this with an explicit "if (data != NULL)"
check, but the subsequent TOUTRD ("read data timeout") and
CRCWR/CRCRD ("data CRC error") branches dereference data
unconditionally:

  if (qstatus & MMCST0_TOUTRD) {
          data->error = -ETIMEDOUT;        <-- NULL deref
          ...
          davinci_abort_data(host, data);
  }

  if (qstatus & (MMCST0_CRCWR | MMCST0_CRCRD)) {
          data->error = -EILSEQ;           <-- NULL deref
          ...
  }

If either bit is set in qstatus while host->data is NULL, the kernel
will crash inside the IRQ handler. smatch flags this:

  drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c:933 mmc_davinci_irq() error: we
    previously assumed 'data' could be null (see line 914)

Gate both branches on a non-NULL data, matching the existing pattern
used by the DATDNE branch.

No functional change for callers where data is non-NULL, which is
the only case in which these branches did meaningful work before
this change.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The background git search finished. It found other DaVinci-related fixes
in this tree (gpio, i2c, etc.), but no commit matching the `if (data &&
(qstatus & ...)` guard pattern — so the MMC IRQ NULL-deref fix is still
absent from **6.18.43**.

That matches the earlier analysis: the buggy unguarded branches are
present in `drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c`, and this patch should be
backported.

**YES**
