[PATCH] i2c: iproc: fix race between client unreg and tasklet

From: Dhananjay Phadke
Date: Thu Aug 05 2021 - 17:49:47 EST


Similar NULL deref was originally fixed by graceful teardown sequence -

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/1597106560-79693-1-git-send-email-dphadke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After this, a tasklet was added to take care of FIFO full condition for large i2c
transaction.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20201102035433.6774-1-rayagonda.kokatanur@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

This introduced regression, a new race condition between tasklet enabling
interrupts and client unreg teardown sequence.

Kill tasklet before unreg_slave() masks bits in IE_OFFSET.
Updated teardown sequence -
(1) disable_irq()
(2) Kill tasklet
(3) Mask event enable bits in control reg
(4) Erase slave address (avoid further writes to rx fifo)
(5) Flush tx and rx FIFOs
(6) Clear pending event (interrupt) bits in status reg
(7) Set client pointer to NULL
(8) enable_irq()
