commit 2db012bd40b889d8e5483d3daa07af04c4c109d8 upstream.

`pc236_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either
`pc236_attach()` or `pc236_attach_pci()` returns an error.  It sets
`thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is
non-null.  This is a valid assumption if `pc236_attach()` fails, but not
if `pc236_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer
dereference.

Check `thisboard` at the top of `pc236_detach()` and return early if it
is `NULL`.  This is okay because the only other thing that could have
been allocated is `dev-&gt;private` and that is freed by the comedi core,
not by this function.

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.

commit dfb2540e91e1f63765bc3ff497ad0b714d774261 upstream.

`dio200_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either
`dio200_attach()` or `dio200_attach_pci()` return an error.  It assigns
`thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is
non-null.  In the case of a previous call to `dio200_attach()` it won't
be `NULL` because the comedi core will have pointed it to one of the
elements of `dio200_boards[]`, but in the case of a previous call to
`dio200_attach_pci()` it could be `NULL`, leading to a null pointer
dereference.

Check that `thisboard` is valid at the top of `dio200_detach()` and
return early if it is `NULL`.  This is okay because the only other thing
that could have been allocated is `dev-&gt;private` and that is freed by
the comedi core, not by this function.

either `labpc_attach()` (including the one in the "ni_labpc_cs" module)
or `labpc_attach_pci()` returns an error.  It assumes the `thisboard`
macro (expanding to `((struct labpc_board_struct *)dev-&gt;board_ptr)`) is
non-null.  This is a valid assumption if `labpc_attach()` fails, but not
if `labpc_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer
dereference.

if it is `NULL`.  This is okay because the only other thing that could
have been allocated is `dev-&gt;private` and that is freed by the comedi

commit 6681e63399926651cc29bcb9d92229b6f1cf1daa upstream.

Here is a small patch to fix a problem caused by a previous patch that
removed the  callback function.  The callback remove patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=1de02225358988e8fd48d1dc3fd12336bbae258a

I finally booted my dev machine on the latest kernel (running Debian
here so it's still on 3.2 normally) to test the ni_daq_700 driver with
my test program and noticed this bug.

Shift the DIO_R read result to bits 8..15 Digital direction
configuration: channels 0-7 output, 8-15 input (8225 device emu as port
A output, port B input, port C N/A).

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.
