Subject: [PATCH] iio: potentiostat: lmp91000: fix NULL deref in probe by reordering setup
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 23:51:41 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520185142.34015-1-sozdayvek@gmail.com> (raw)

lmp91000_probe() calls iio_trigger_set_immutable() with
iio_channel_cb_get_iio_dev(data->cb_buffer) before data->cb_buffer is
assigned. The struct is zero-initialised by devm_iio_device_alloc(), so
cb_buffer is NULL on entry, and iio_channel_cb_get_iio_dev() does an
unconditional cb_buffer->indio_dev which dereferences NULL.

Reorder probe to acquire cb_buffer first (handling -EPROBE_DEFER) and
only then set the immutable trigger, register the trigger, set up the
triggered buffer, and register the iio device. Move the cb_buffer
release to the end of the cleanup chain so a late failure properly
unwinds in reverse order.
