From 2d860ad76f4ee4d2eba0fe3797c8d7cdce432cc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:05:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq thread free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up the handler thread. Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be freed anyway. This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.
