Subject: [PATCH] genirq/core: Propagate IRQ descriptor range search errors
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 22:22:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261031202254.200628-1-thnkslprpt@gmail.com> (raw)
irq_find_free_area() returns -ENOSPC when no suitable IRQ range is
available. __irq_alloc_descs() uses the negative result without
checking for errors. The unsigned count can cause start + cnt to
wrap, allowing descriptor allocation with an invalid IRQ number.
Return the search error before using the result in range arithmetic.
Fixes: 721255b9826b ("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor management")
