Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] device property: initialize the remaining fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 11:40:11 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702154011.3534248-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026070219-grid-obsolete-fdc9@gregkh>
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@oss.qualcomm.com>
[ Upstream commit 7eba000621fff223dd7bab484d48918c7c77a307 ]
If a firmware node is allocated on the stack (for instance: temporary
software node whose life-time we control) or on the heap - but using a
non-zeroing allocation function - and initialized using fwnode_init(),
its secondary pointer will contain uninitialized memory which likely
will be neither NULL nor IS_ERR() and so may end up being dereferenced
(for example: in dev_to_swnode()). Set fwnode->secondary to NULL on
initialization. While at it: initialize the remaining fields of struct
fwnode_handle too just to be sure.
