Re: [PATCH] mmc: dw_mmc: Add a defensive check to prevent potential null-pointer dereferences in dw_mci_runtime_resume()

Hi Tuo,

In this function, the variable host->slot is checked and then dereferenced
in several places which indicates it can be NULL, for example:

if (host->slot && host->slot->mmc->pm_flags & MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER)
dw_mci_set_ios(host->slot->mmc, &host->slot->mmc->ios);

However, in the following cases, host->slot is dereferenced without a
preceding NULL check, which introduces a risk of null-pointer dereference:

dw_mci_setup_bus(host->slot, true);

if (sdio_irq_claimed(host->slot->mmc))
__dw_mci_enable_sdio_irq(host->slot, 1);

dw_mci_enable_cd(host);

To prevent such issues, add a defensive check to ensure host->slot is not
NULL before dereferencing it.


Thanks for your patch. we plan to remove the slot design
entirely soon, probably this cycle.
