Subject: [PATCH 0/2] power_supply: Fix Oops from NULL pointer dereference from wakeup_source_activate
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 08:59:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1384875691.git.shuah.kh@samsung.com> (raw)
power_supply_register() calls device_init_wakeup() to register a wakeup
source before initializing dev_name. As a result, device_wakeup_enable()
end up registering wakeup source with a null name when wakeup_source_register()
gets called with dev_name(dev) which is null at the time.
device_wakeup_enable() uses dev_name(dev) as the wakeup source name.
When it gets called with a device with its name not yet set, ws structure
with ws->name = NULL gets created.
When kernel is booted with wakeup_source_activate enabled, it will panic
when the trace point code tries to dereferences ws->name.
This patch series fixes power_supply_register() to initialize the device name
prior to calling device_init_wakeup() and adds WARN_ON on null device name to
device_wakeup_enable() to detect driver bugs that result in calling
device_wakeup_enable() before device is fully initialized with its name in
device_wakeup_enable().
It is important that these two fixes to be pulled in together as a series. The
change to add WARN_ON on null device name without the power_supply_register()
fix will result in early boot panics when AC Adapter and Battery device drivers
try to register wakeup source.
