[PATCH v3 1/3] mfd: tps65217: Fix NULL pointer dereference on IRQ init failure

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

tps65217_probe() ignores the return value of tps65217_irq_init(), so
when the irq domain creation fails the probe still completes and the
driver ends up bound with a NULL tps->irq_domain. Unloading the
module then makes tps65217_remove() call irq_domain_remove() on the
NULL pointer and oops the kernel. On top of that, irq_find_mapping()
may fall back to the default irq domain and dispose of mappings that
belong to other interrupt controllers.

Check the return value and abort the probe on failure so the error
is reported and no inconsistent state is left for removal.

[PATCH v3 2/3] mfd: tps65217: Check return value when masking interrupt sources

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

tps65217_irq_init() ignores the error returned by
tps65217_set_bits() when masking all interrupt sources. A failed
register write leaves the driver's software mask out of sync with the
hardware and may result in spurious interrupts.

Check the return value and propagate the error to the caller.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Nit: Why wrap here?  The line below is clearly longer than this one.

[PATCH v3 3/3] mfd: tps65217: Use devres for IRQ domain and wake teardown

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

Removing the parent device used to tear the IRQ domain down in
tps65217_remove() before the MFD children are unbound: the i2c core
only releases the parent's devres after the remove callback returns,
whereas devm_mfd_add_devices() registered its own devres action which
unbinds the children. Children that requested interrupts from the
domain (e.g. tps65217-charger) therefore call free_irq() on virtual
IRQs whose descriptors have already been disposed. With
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ free_irq() then returns early without stopping the
threaded handler, leaking the irqaction, the IRQ kthread and a module
reference.

Register the domain teardown as a devres action right after the domain
is created instead. Devres actions are released in reverse order of
registration, so the MFD children release their IRQs first, then the
parent interrupt is freed and its thread stopped, and only then is the
domain torn down. The same ordering covers probe failure, which no
longer needs manual cleanup, and the remove callback can be dropped
entirely.

Balance the enable_irq_wake() in tps65217_irq_init() by registering
disable_irq_wake() as a devres action as well. Only do so when
enabling actually succeeded, since the parent chip may not support
setting wake-up.

Introduce a variable, then you can omit the casts.
