[PATCH v2] gpiolib: fix invalid pointer access in debugfs
From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Mon Nov 03 2025 - 09:15:27 EST
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>
If the memory allocation in gpiolib_seq_start() fails, the s->private
field remains uninitialized and is later dereferenced without checking
in gpiolib_seq_stop(). Initialize s->private to NULL before calling
kzalloc() and check it before dereferencing it.
Fixes: e348544f7994 ("gpio: protect the list of GPIO devices with SRCU")

Changes in v2:
- Initialize priv right before checking it for NULL in
gpiolib_seq_stop()
