commit 229e6ee43d2a160a1592b83aad620d6027084aad upstream.
Null pointer dereference occurs due to a race between smmu driver probe and client driver probe, when of_dma_configure() for client is called after the iommu_device_register() for smmu driver probe has executed but before the driver_bound() for smmu driver has been called.
Following is how the race occurs:
T1:Smmu device probe T2: Client device probe
really_probe() arm_smmu_device_probe() iommu_device_register() really_probe() platform_dma_configure() of_dma_configure() of_dma_configure_id() of_iommu_configure() iommu_probe_device() iommu_init_device() arm_smmu_probe_device() arm_smmu_get_by_fwnode() driver_find_device_by_fwnode() driver_find_device() next_device() klist_next() /* null ptr assigned to smmu */ /* null ptr dereference while smmu->streamid_mask */ driver_bound() klist_add_tail()
When this null smmu pointer is dereferenced later in arm_smmu_probe_device, the device crashes.
Fix this by deferring the probe of the client device until the smmu device has bound to the arm smmu driver.
