From 3269bb63eb076318ce4fb554851d047e1c9aa1a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxime Bizon Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 17:54:05 +0100 Subject: i2c-mv64xxx: Fix random oops at boot I have a Marvell board which has the same i2c hw block than mv64xxx, so I'm trying to use i2c-mv64xxx driver. But I get the following random oops at boot: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002 Backtrace: [] (mv64xxx_i2c_intr+0x0/0x2b8) from [] (__do_irq+0x4c/0x8c) [] (__do_irq+0x0/0x8c) from [] (do_level_IRQ+0x68/0xc0) r8 = C0501E08 r7 = 00000005 r6 = C0501E08 r5 = 00000005 r4 = C048BB78 [] (do_level_IRQ+0x0/0xc0) from [] (asm_do_IRQ+0x50/0x134) r6 = C0449C78 r5 = F1020000 r4 = FFFFFFFF [] (asm_do_IRQ+0x0/0x134) from [] (__irq_svc+0x24/0x100) r8 = C1CAC400 r7 = 00000005 r6 = 00000002 r5 = F1020000 r4 = FFFFFFFF [] (setup_irq+0x0/0x124) from [] (request_irq+0xb0/0xd0) r7 = C041B2AC r6 = C0397E4C r5 = 00000000 r4 = 00000005 [] (request_irq+0x0/0xd0) from [] (mv64xxx_i2c_probe+0x148/0x244) [] (mv64xxx_i2c_probe+0x0/0x244) from [] (platform_drv_probe+0x20/0x24) The oops is caused by a spurious interrupt that occurs when request_irq is called. mv64xxx_i2c_fsm() tries to read drv_data->msg, which is NULL. I noticed that hardware init is done after requesting irq. Thus any pending irq from previous hardware usage may cause this.
