Subject: [PATCH] vTPM: Fix missing NULL check
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 17:32:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1488839535-11822-1-git-send-email-honclo@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
The current code passes the address of tpm_chip as the argument to
dev_get_drvdata() without prior NULL check in
tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma. This resulted an oops during kernel
boot when vTPM is enabled in Power partition configured in active
memory sharing mode.
The vio_driver's get_desired_dma() is called before the probe(), which
for vtpm is tpm_ibmvtpm_probe, and it's this latter function that
initializes the driver and set data. Attempting to get data before
the probe() caused the problem.
This patch adds a NULL check to the tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma.
fixes: 9e0d39d8a6a0 ("tpm: Remove useless priv field in struct tpm_vendor_specific")
