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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
