[PATCH 17/78] ALSA: HDA: Fix Oops caused by dereference NULL pointer

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue May 28 2013 - 17:43:12 EST


3.8.13.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wang YanQing <udknight@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2195b063f6609e4c6268f291683902f25eaf9aa6 upstream.

The interrupt handler azx_interrupt will call azx_update_rirb,
which may call snd_hda_queue_unsol_event, snd_hda_queue_unsol_event
will dereference chip->bus pointer.

The problem is we alloc chip->bus in azx_codec_create
which will be called after we enable IRQ and enable unsolicited
event in azx_probe.

This will cause Oops due dereference NULL pointer. I meet it, good luck:)

[Rearranged the NULL check before the tracepoint and added another
NULL check of bus->workq -- tiwai]
