commit aaeb61a97b7159ebe30b18a422d04eeabfa8790b upstream.

`pc236_detach()` is called by the comedi core if it attempted to attach
a device and failed.  `pc236_detach()` calls `pc236_intr_disable()` if
the comedi device private data pointer (`devpriv`) is non-null.  This
test is insufficient as `pc236_intr_disable()` accesses hardware
registers and the attach routine may have failed before it has saved
their I/O base addresses.

Fix it by checking `dev-&gt;iobase` is non-zero before calling
`pc236_intr_disable()` as that means the I/O base addresses have been
saved and the hardware registers can be accessed.  It also implies the
comedi device private data pointer is valid, so there is no need to
check it.

<title>staging: comedi: fix memory leak for saved channel list</title>

commit c8cad4c89ee3b15935c532210ae6ebb5c0a2734d upstream.

When `do_cmd_ioctl()` allocates memory for the kernel copy of a channel
list, it frees any previously allocated channel list in
`async-&gt;cmd.chanlist` and replaces it with the new one.  However, if the
device is ever removed (or "detached") the cleanup code in
`cleanup_device()` in "drivers.c" does not free this memory so it is
lost.

A sensible place to free the kernel copy of the channel list is in
`do_become_nonbusy()` as at that point the comedi asynchronous command
associated with the channel list is no longer valid.  Free the channel
list in `do_become_nonbusy()` instead of `do_cmd_ioctl()` and clear the
pointer to prevent it being freed more than once.

Note that `cleanup_device()` could be called at an inappropriate time
while the comedi device is open, but that's a separate bug not related
to this this patch.

commit 5d06e3df280bd230e2eadc16372e62818c63e894 upstream.

`parse_insn()` is dereferencing the user-space pointer `insn-&gt;data`
directly when handling the `INSN_INTTRIG` comedi instruction.  It
shouldn't be using `insn-&gt;data` at all; it should be using the separate
`data` pointer passed to the function.  Fix it.

commit e1878957b4676a17cf398f7f5723b365e9a2ca48 upstream.

Correct a direct dereference of I/O memory to use an appropriate I/O
memory access function.  Note that the pointer being dereferenced is not
currently tagged with `__iomem` but I plan to correct that for 3.7.

commit b655c2c4782ed3e2e71d2608154e295a3e860311 upstream.

`s626_enc_insn_config()` is incorrectly dereferencing `insn-&gt;data` which
is a pointer to user memory.  It should be dereferencing the separate
`data` parameter that points to a copy of the data in kernel memory.
