From: Lars-Peter Clausen lars@metafoo.de
commit f027e0b3a774e10302207e91d304bbf99e3a8b36 upstream.
The adis_probe_trigger() creates a new IIO trigger and requests an interrupt associated with the trigger. The interrupt uses the generic iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll() function as its interrupt handler.
Currently the driver initializes some fields of the trigger structure after the interrupt has been requested. But an interrupt can fire as soon as it has been requested. This opens up a race condition.
iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll() will access the trigger data structure and dereference the ops field. If the ops field is not yet initialized this will result in a NULL pointer deref.
It is not expected that the device generates an interrupt at this point, so typically this issue did not surface unless e.g. due to a hardware misconfiguration (wrong interrupt number, wrong polarity, etc.).
But some newer devices from the ADIS family start to generate periodic interrupts in their power-on reset configuration and unfortunately the interrupt can not be masked in the device. This makes the race condition much more visible and the following crash has been observed occasionally when booting a system using the ADIS16460.

To fix this make sure that the trigger is fully initialized before requesting the interrupt.
