commit 7379e6baeddf580d01feca650ec1ad508b6ea8ee upstream.

The interrupt handler `pci230_interrupt()` causes a null pointer
dereference for a PCI260 card.  There is no analog output subdevice for
a PCI260.  The `dev-&gt;write_subdev` subdevice pointer and therefore the
`s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL` for a PCI260.  The
following call near the end of the interrupt handler results in the null
pointer dereference for a PCI260:

	comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao);

Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid.

Note that the other uses of `s_ao` in the calls
`pci230_handle_ao_nofifo(dev, s_ao);` and `pci230_handle_ao_fifo(dev,
s_ao);` will never be reached for a PCI260, so they are safe.

commit b8336be66dec06bef518030a0df9847122053ec5 upstream.

The interrupt handler `dt282x_interrupt()` causes a null pointer
dereference for those supported boards that have no analog output
support.  For these boards, `dev-&gt;write_subdev` will be `NULL` and
therefore the `s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL`.  In that
case, the following call near the end of the interrupt handler results
in a null pointer dereference:

	comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao);

Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid.

(There are other uses of `s_ao` by the interrupt handler that may or may
not be reached depending on values of hardware registers.  Trust that
they are reliable for now.)

Note:
commit 4f6f009b204f ("staging: comedi: dt282x: use comedi_handle_events()")
propagates an earlier error from
commit f21c74fa4cfe ("staging: comedi: dt282x: use cfc_handle_events()").

Pull staging / IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and iio driver update for 5.2-rc1.

  Lots of tiny fixes all over the staging and IIO driver trees here,
  along with some new IIO drivers.

  The "counter" subsystem was added in here as well, as it is needed by
  the IIO drivers and subsystem.

  Also we ended up deleting two drivers, making this pull request remove
  a few hundred thousand lines of code, always a nice thing to see. Both
  of the drivers removed have been replaced with "real" drivers in their
  various subsystem directories, and they will be coming to you from
  those locations during this merge window.

  There are some core vt/selection changes in here, that was due to some
  cleanups needed for the speakup fixes. Those have all been acked by
  the various subsystem maintainers (i.e. me), so those are ok.

  We also added a few new drivers, for some odd hardware, giving new
  developers plenty to work on with basic coding style cleanups to come
  in the near future.

  Other than that, nothing unusual here.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues, other than an odd gcc warning for one of the new drivers that
  should be fixed up soon"

[ I fixed up the warning myself  - Linus ]

  Remove mmiowb() from the kernel memory barrier API and instead, for

  MMIO has been performed inside the critical section.

  The only relatively recent changes have been addressing review
  comments on the documentation, which is in a much better shape thanks

  I was initially planning to split this into two pull requests so that

The "comedi_isadma" module calls `dma_alloc_coherent()` and
`dma_free_coherent()` with a NULL device pointer which is no longer
allowed.  If the `hw_dev` member of the `struct comedi_device` has been
set to a valid device, that can be used instead.  Unfortunately, all the
current users of the "comedi_isadma" module leave the `hw_dev` member
set to NULL.  In that case, fall back to using the comedi "class" device
pointed to by the `class_dev` member if that is non-NULL.  In that case,
make it "DMA-capable" with a coherent DMA mask set to the ISA bus limit
of 16MB (24 bits).

<title>staging: comedi: dt9812: Call mutex_destroy() on private mutex</title>

<content type='text'>
`dt9812_detach()` is the Comedi "detach" handler for the dt9812 driver.
When it is called, the private data for the device is about to be freed.
The private data contains a mutex `devpriv-&gt;mut` that was initialized
when the private data was allocated.  Call `mutex_destroy()` to mark it
as invalid.

Also remove the calls to `mutex_lock()` and `mutex_unlock()` from
`dt9812_detach()` as the mutex is only being used around a call to
`usb_set_intfdata()` to clear the USB interface's driver data pointer.
The mutex lock seems redundant here, especially as it is about to be
destroyed.

When it is called, the private data for the device is about to be freed.
The private data contains a mutex `devpriv-&gt;mut` that was initialized
when the private data was allocated.  Call `mutex_destroy()` to mark it
as invalid.

Also remove the calls to `mutex_lock()` and `mutex_unlock()` from
`dt9812_detach()` as the mutex is only being used around a call to
`usb_set_intfdata()` to clear the USB interface's driver data pointer.
The mutex lock seems redundant here, especially as it is about to be
destroyed.

`ni6501_detach()` is the Comedi "detach" handler for the ni_usb6501
driver.  It is called when the private data for the device is about to
be freed.  The private data contains a mutex `devpriv-&gt;mut` that was
initialized when the private data was allocated.  Call `mutex_destroy()`
to mark it as invalid.

Also remove the calls to `mutex_lock()` and `mutex_unlock()` from
`ni6501_detach()`.  The only other locks of the mutex are by some of the
Comedi instruction handlers that cannot contend with the "detach"
handler for this mutex.

`usbdux_detach()` is the Comedi "detach" handler for the usbdux driver.
When it is called, the private data for the device is about to be freed.
The private date contains a mutex `devpriv-&gt;mut` that was initialized
when the private data was allocated.  Call `mutex_destroy()` to mark it
as invalid.

The calls to `mutex_lock()` and `mutex_unlock()` are probably not
required, especially as the mutex is about to be destroyed, but leave
them alone for now.
