Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] remoteproc: core: Check subdev start status in rproc_stop()
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 00:20:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519-rproc-attach-issue-v2-2-caa1eaf75081@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260519-rproc-attach-issue-v2-0-caa1eaf75081@oss.qualcomm.com>
For rproc that doing attach, rproc_start_subdevices() is called only when
attach successfully. If rproc_report_crash() is called in the attach
function, rproc_boot_recovery()->rproc_stop()->rproc_stop_subdevices()->
glink_subdev_stop() could be called and cause NULL pointer dereference:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000300

Introduce "subdevs_started" flag to indicate rproc_start_subdevices() has
been called successfully. Ensure subdevices are only stopped if they have
been started.
