Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash with irqpoll due to the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 10:37:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070522083756.GB18498@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070514140513.GD29616@suse.de>
o System crashes if booted with irqpoll command line option.
o Problem happens because Inside note_interrupt() we are accessing
desc->action->flag without taking the desc->lock. While accessing it
somebody goes ahead and unregisters the irq handler hence desc->action
is NULL. By the time note_interrupt() checks it, it crashes.
o In that system it is irq 4 seriving to serial driver.
o Take the desc->lock before accessing desc->action->flag.
