Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dma-debug: Do not add notifier when dma debugging is disabled.
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:22:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1261408929-6261-2-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1261408929-6261-1-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com>

From: Shaun Ruffell <sruffell@digium.com>

If CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG is defined and "dma_debug=off" is
specified on the kernel command line, when you detach a driver from a
device you can cause the following NULL pointer dereference:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0580d35>] dma_debug_device_change+0x5d/0x117

The problem is that the dma_debug_device_change notifier function is
added to the bus notifier chain even though the dma_entry_hash array
was never initialized.  If dma debugging is disabled, this patch both
prevents dma_debug_device_change notifiers from being added to the
chain, and additionally ensures that the dma_debug_device_change
notifier function is a no-op.
