[PATCH] SPI: alternative fix for spi_busnum_to_master
If a SPI master device exists, udev (udevtrigger) causes kernel crash, due to wrong kobj pointer in kobject_uevent_env(). This problem was not in 2.6.19. The backtrace (on MIPS) was: [<8024db6c>] kobject_uevent_env+0x54c/0x5e8 [<802a8264>] store_uevent+0x1c/0x3c (in drivers/class.c) [<801cb14c>] subsys_attr_store+0x2c/0x50 [<801cb80c>] flush_write_buffer+0x38/0x5c [<801cb900>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x190 [<80181444>] vfs_write+0xc4/0x1a0 [<80181cdc>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0 [<8010dae4>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c flush_write_buffer() passes kobject of spi_master_class.subsys to subsys_addr_store(), then subsys_addr_store() passes a pointer to a struct subsystem to store_uevent() which expects a pointer to a struct class_device. The problem seems subsys_attr_store() called instead of class_device_attr_store(). This mismatch was caused by commit 3bd0f6943520e459659d10f3282285e43d3990f1, which overrides kset of master class. This made spi_master_class.subsys.kset.ktype NULL so subsys_sysfs_ops is used instead of class_dev_sysfs_ops. The commit was to fix spi_busnum_to_master(). Here is a patch fixes this function in other way, just searching children list of class_device.
