[PATCH] powerpc/44x/uic: Consolidate chained IRQ handler install/remove

From: Chen Ni <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-19 06:37:02
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), linux for powerpc embedded ppc4xx, the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The driver currently sets the handler data and the chained handler in
two separate steps. This creates a theoretical race window where an
interrupt could fire after the handler is set but before the data is
assigned, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

Replace the two calls with irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() to set
both the handler and its data atomically under the irq_desc->lock.
