This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chip to the 2.6.32-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: genirq-deal-with-desc-set_type-changing-desc-chip.patch and it can be found in the queue-2.6.32 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@kernel.org> know about it. From 4673247562e39a17e09440fa1400819522ccd446 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 17:53:51 +0200 Subject: genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chip From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> commit 4673247562e39a17e09440fa1400819522ccd446 upstream. The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq. The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq, but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue. The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to make sure that a chip change is covered. But as we have already users, which do the type setting after request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults() from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip. It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.
