Subject: [PATCH 3.4 06/25] spi: Fix crash with double message finalisation on error handling
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:51:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140220234842.662336976@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140220234842.483343851@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@linux-m68k.org>
commit 1f802f8249a0da536877842c43c7204064c4de8b upstream.
This reverts commit e120cc0dcf2880a4c5c0a6cb27b655600a1cfa1d.
It causes a NULL pointer dereference with drivers using the generic
spi_transfer_one_message(), which always calls
spi_finalize_current_message(), which zeroes master->cur_msg.
Drivers implementing transfer_one_message() theirselves must always call
spi_finalize_current_message(), even if the transfer failed:
* @transfer_one_message: the subsystem calls the driver to transfer a single
* message while queuing transfers that arrive in the meantime. When the
* driver is finished with this message, it must call
* spi_finalize_current_message() so the subsystem can issue the next
* transfer
