From 52dee2c9f0850704327d976ea5c5fa7f4696dab5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Nikolaus Schaller" Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:46:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Input: twl6040-vibra - fix NULL pointer dereference by removing workqueue commit 21fb9f0d5e91 ("Input: twl6040-vibra - use system workqueue") says that it switches to use the system workqueue but it did neither - remove the workqueue struct variable - replace code to really use the system workqueue Instead it calls queue_work() on uninitialized info->workqueue. The result is a NULL pointer dereference in vibra_play(). Solution: use schedule_work Signed-off-by: H.
