From 1dd6b20e368765223c31569d364219785b24700b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jin Dongming Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 19:53:53 +0800 Subject: ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_data platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic. So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory which saves entry information of erst_tab. This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree. v2: Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using platform_device_add_data() Signed-off-by: Jin Dongming Signed-off-by: Huang Ying Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c b/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c index 343168d1826..1a3508a7fe0 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c @@ -137,20 +137,23 @@ static int hest_parse_ghes_count(struct acpi_hest_header *hest_hdr, void *data) static int hest_parse_ghes(struct acpi_hest_header *hest_hdr, void *data) { - struct acpi_hest_generic *generic; struct platform_device *ghes_dev; struct ghes_arr *ghes_arr = data; int rc; if (hest_hdr->type != ACPI_HEST_TYPE_GENERIC_ERROR) return 0; - generic = (struct acpi_hest_generic *)hest_hdr; - if (!generic->enabled) + + if (!((struct acpi_hest_generic *)hest_hdr)->enabled) return 0; ghes_dev = platform_device_alloc("GHES", hest_hdr->source_id); if (!ghes_dev) return -ENOMEM; - ghes_dev->dev.platform_data = generic; + + rc = platform_device_add_data(ghes_dev, &hest_hdr, sizeof(void *)); + if (rc) + goto err; + rc = platform_device_add(ghes_dev); if (rc) goto err; -- cgit v1.2.3
