Subject: [PATCH] intel_th: core: fix null pointer dereference in intel_th_irq
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 13:45:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250825174554.925679-1-darcari@redhat.com> (raw)
In certain cases intel_th_irq can reference a null entry in
the th->thdev array. This results in the splat shown below.
The problem is that intel_th_output_enable() can modify the
thdev[] array at the same time intel_th_irq is referencing
the same array. This can be fixed by disabling interrupts
during the call to intel_th_output_enable().
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000304
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:intel_th_irq+0x26/0x70 [intel_th]
