| |
From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>
The data referenced by an interrupt handler should not be freed before the interrupt is ended. The handler is bfin_crypto_crc_handler. It may refer to crc->regs, which is released by the iounmap.
Furthermore, the second argument to all calls to free_irq is incorrect. It should be the same as the last argument of request_irq, which is crc, rather than crc->dev.
The semantic match that finds the first problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl> @fn exists@ expression list es; expression a,b; identifier f; @@
if (...) { ... when any free_irq(a,b); ... when any f(es); ... when any return ...; }
@@ expression list fn.es; expression fn.a,fn.b; identifier fn.f; @@
*f(es); ... when any *free_irq(a,b); // </smpl>
Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>
--- Not compiled. I have not observed the problems in practice; the code just looks suspicious.
