If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 4ce7ca89d6e8eae9e201cd0e972ba323f33e2fb4 upstream. This patch uses iio_trigger_get to increment the reference count of trigger device, to avoid incorrect assignment. Can result in a null pointer dereference during removal if the trigger has been changed before removal. This patch refers to a similar situation encountered through the following discussion: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-iio/msg13669.html Signed-off-by: Darshana Padmadas Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby --- drivers/iio/imu/adis_trigger.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/imu/adis_trigger.c b/drivers/iio/imu/adis_trigger.c index e0017c22bb9c..f53e9a803a0e 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/imu/adis_trigger.c +++ b/drivers/iio/imu/adis_trigger.c @@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ int adis_probe_trigger(struct adis *adis, struct iio_dev *indio_dev) iio_trigger_set_drvdata(adis->trig, adis); ret = iio_trigger_register(adis->trig); - indio_dev->trig = adis->trig; + indio_dev->trig = iio_trigger_get(adis->trig); if (ret) goto error_free_irq; -- 2.3.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
