Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic. So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory which saves entry information of erst_tab. This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree. v2: Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using platform_device_add_data() Signed-off-by: Jin Dongming Acked-by: Huang Ying --- drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c | 2 +- drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c | 11 +++++++---- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c b/drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c index 385a605..0d505e5 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c @@ -302,7 +302,7 @@ static int __devinit ghes_probe(struct platform_device *ghes_dev) struct ghes *ghes = NULL; int rc = -EINVAL; - generic = ghes_dev->dev.platform_data; + generic = *(struct acpi_hest_generic **)ghes_dev->dev.platform_data; if (!generic->enabled) return -ENODEV; diff --git a/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c b/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c index 343168d..1a3508a 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c @@ -137,20 +137,23 @@ static int hest_parse_ghes_count(struct acpi_hest_header *hest_hdr, void *data) static int hest_parse_ghes(struct acpi_hest_header *hest_hdr, void *data) { - struct acpi_hest_generic *generic; struct platform_device *ghes_dev; struct ghes_arr *ghes_arr = data; int rc; if (hest_hdr->type != ACPI_HEST_TYPE_GENERIC_ERROR) return 0; - generic = (struct acpi_hest_generic *)hest_hdr; - if (!generic->enabled) + + if (!((struct acpi_hest_generic *)hest_hdr)->enabled) return 0; ghes_dev = platform_device_alloc("GHES", hest_hdr->source_id); if (!ghes_dev) return -ENOMEM; - ghes_dev->dev.platform_data = generic; + + rc = platform_device_add_data(ghes_dev, &hest_hdr, sizeof(void *)); + if (rc) + goto err; + rc = platform_device_add(ghes_dev); if (rc) goto err; -- 1.7.1.1
