[PATCH 0/2] iio: adc: Initialize completions before requesting IRQs

[Maxwell Doose]

Hi all,

This short patch series fixes the issues raised by Jaeyoung Chung,
Sangyun Kim, and Kyungwook Boo regarding init_completion() and spurious
IRQs. The report is linked below [1], but I will also put it here
inline:

"lpc32xx_adc_probe() in drivers/iio/adc/lpc32xx_adc.c and
spear_adc_probe() in drivers/iio/adc/spear_adc.c register their
interrupt handler with devm_request_irq() before they initialize
st->completion with init_completion(). If an interrupt arrives after
devm_request_irq() and before init_completion(), the handler calls
complete() on an uninitialized completion, causing a kernel panic.

The probe path, in lpc32xx_adc_probe():

    iodev = devm_iio_device_alloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*st)); /* st kzalloc-zeroed */
    ...
    retval = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, irq, lpc32xx_adc_isr, 0,
                              LPC32XXAD_NAME, st);           /* register handler */
    ...
    init_completion(&st->completion);                       /* initialize completion */

spear_adc_probe() has the same ordering: devm_request_irq() for
spear_adc_isr() before init_completion(&st->completion).

Both interrupt handlers, lpc32xx_adc_isr() and spear_adc_isr(), call
complete():

    complete(&st->completion);

If the device raises an interrupt before init_completion() runs,
complete() acquires the uninitialized wait.lock and walks the zeroed
task_list in swake_up_locked(). The zeroed task_list makes list_empty()
return false, so swake_up_locked() dereferences a NULL list entry,
triggering a KASAN wild-memory-access.

Suggested fix: move init_completion(&st->completion) above
devm_request_irq(), so the completion is valid before the handler can run.

Quick note, I ended up editing the report a little in the individual
commits to match the driver we were fixing.
