[PATCH] Input: raydium_i2c_ts - propagate device info query errors from raydium_i2c_initialize()
From: Muhammad Bilal
Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 09:59:06 EST
raydium_i2c_initialize() calls raydium_i2c_query_ts_info() (or
raydium_i2c_query_ts_bootloader_info() in bootloader mode) but never
checks or returns its result. raydium_i2c_probe() treats a zero
return from raydium_i2c_initialize() as full success, then
unconditionally allocates ts->report_data with size ts->pkg_size and
registers the IRQ handler.
If raydium_i2c_query_ts_info() fails on every one of its own retries
(e.g. because the device is still completing power-up when probe
runs), ts->pkg_size and ts->report_size are left at their
devm_kzalloc()'d default of 0, and ts->report_data is never
meaningfully allocated: devm_kmalloc(dev, 0, GFP_KERNEL) returns
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, a non-NULL sentinel (include/linux/slab.h) that must
never be dereferenced, which passes the existing
'if (!ts->report_data)' check. RAYDIUM_TS_MAIN is also 0, the same
value ts->boot_mode has from devm_kzalloc() before
raydium_i2c_check_fw_status() ever confirms a mode, so a
spurious/garbage first read that raydium_i2c_check_fw_status()
does not recognize as either ack byte leaves boot_mode looking like
an already-confirmed RAYDIUM_TS_MAIN without it ever being set.
With both conditions met, probe() completes 'successfully' with a
live IRQ, ts->boot_mode == RAYDIUM_TS_MAIN, and ts->report_data
pointing at a zero-size allocation. The next touch fires
raydium_i2c_irq(), which passes the boot_mode check and dereferences
ts->report_data at offset ts->report_size, both derived from that
never-actually-confirmed state, producing a NULL/invalid pointer
dereference in interrupt context:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference
RIP: raydium_i2c_irq+0x5b/0x1d0 [raydium_i2c_ts]
On kernels with CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS=y (e.g. linux-hardened) this is
a full system panic on the first touch; on a default kernel it only
kills the IRQ thread, but the touchscreen stops working and a
subsequent reboot can hang cleaning up the recursive fault.
Have raydium_i2c_initialize() return the result of the info query in
both the bootloader and main-firmware branches, so a failure there
aborts raydium_i2c_probe() before report_data or the IRQ are ever
set up, instead of leaving them in this half-initialized state.
