As part of the scsi EH path, aacraid performs a reinitialization of the
adapter, which encompass freeing resources and IRQs, NULLifying lots of
pointers, and then initialize it all over again. We've identified a
problem during the free IRQ portion of this path if CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ
is enabled on kernel config file.
Happens that, in case this flag was set, right after free_irq()
effectively clears the interrupt, it checks if it was requested as
IRQF_SHARED. In positive case, it performs another call to the IRQ
handler on driver. Problem is: since aacraid currently free some
resources *before* freeing the IRQ, once free_irq() path calls the
handler again (due to CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), aacraid crashes due to NULL
pointer dereference with the following trace:
aac_src_intr_message+0xf8/0x740 [aacraid]
__free_irq+0x33c/0x4a0
free_irq+0x78/0xb0
aac_free_irq+0x13c/0x150 [aacraid]
aac_reset_adapter+0x2e8/0x970 [aacraid]
aac_eh_reset+0x3a8/0x5d0 [aacraid]
scsi_try_host_reset+0x74/0x180
scsi_eh_ready_devs+0xc70/0x1510
scsi_error_handler+0x624/0xa20
This patch prevents the crash by changing the order of the
deinitialization in this path of aacraid: first we clear the IRQ, then
we free other resources. No functional change intended.
