Subject[PATCH 4.11 015/114] staging: comedi: jr3_pci: fix possible null pointer dereference
Date
4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>

commit 45292be0b3db0b7f8286683b376e2d9f949d11f9 upstream.

For some reason, the driver does not consider allocation of the
subdevice private data to be a fatal error when attaching the COMEDI
device. It tests the subdevice private data pointer for validity at
certain points, but omits some crucial tests. In particular,
`jr3_pci_auto_attach()` calls `jr3_pci_alloc_spriv()` to allocate and
initialize the subdevice private data, but the same function
subsequently dereferences the pointer to access the `next_time_min` and
`next_time_max` members without checking it first. The other missing
test is in the timer expiry routine `jr3_pci_poll_dev()`, but it will
crash before it gets that far.

Fix the bug by returning `-ENOMEM` from `jr3_pci_auto_attach()` as soon
as one of the calls to `jr3_pci_alloc_spriv()` returns `NULL`. The
COMEDI core will subsequently call `jr3_pci_detach()` to clean up.
