[ Upstream commit a71a29f50de1ef97ab55c151a1598eb12dde379d ]
I2C communication errors (-EREMOTEIO) during the IRQ handler of nxp-nci result in a NULL pointer dereference at the moment:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 1 PID: 355 Comm: irq/137-nxp-nci Not tainted 5.4.0-rc6 #1 RIP: 0010:skb_queue_tail+0x25/0x50 Call Trace: nci_recv_frame+0x36/0x90 [nci] nxp_nci_i2c_irq_thread_fn+0xd1/0x285 [nxp_nci_i2c] ? preempt_count_add+0x68/0xa0 ? irq_forced_thread_fn+0x80/0x80 irq_thread_fn+0x20/0x60 irq_thread+0xee/0x180 ? wake_threads_waitq+0x30/0x30 kthread+0xfb/0x130 ? irq_thread_check_affinity+0xd0/0xd0 ? kthread_park+0x90/0x90 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40
Afterward the kernel must be rebooted to work properly again.
This happens because it attempts to call nci_recv_frame() with skb == NULL. However, unlike nxp_nci_fw_recv_frame(), nci_recv_frame() does not have any NULL checks for skb, causing the NULL pointer dereference.
Change the code to call only nxp_nci_fw_recv_frame() in case of an error. Make sure to log it so it is obvious that a communication error occurred. The error above then becomes:
nxp-nci_i2c i2c-NXP1001:00: NFC: Read failed with error -121 nci: __nci_request: wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout failed 0 nxp-nci_i2c i2c-NXP1001:00: NFC: Read failed with error -121
