Guilherme G. Piccoli 39527e909e scsi: aacraid: Prevent crash in case of free interrupt during scsi EH path 
[ Upstream commit e4717292dd ]

As part of the scsi EH path, aacraid performs a reinitialization of the
adapter, which encompass freeing resources and IRQs, NULLifying lots of
pointers, and then initialize it all over again.  We've identified a
problem during the free IRQ portion of this path if CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ
is enabled on kernel config file.

Happens that, in case this flag was set, right after free_irq()
effectively clears the interrupt, it checks if it was requested as
IRQF_SHARED. In positive case, it performs another call to the IRQ
handler on driver. Problem is: since aacraid currently free some
resources *before* freeing the IRQ, once free_irq() path calls the
handler again (due to CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), aacraid crashes due to NULL
pointer dereference with the following trace:

  aac_src_intr_message+0xf8/0x740 [aacraid]
  __free_irq+0x33c/0x4a0
  free_irq+0x78/0xb0
  aac_free_irq+0x13c/0x150 [aacraid]
  aac_reset_adapter+0x2e8/0x970 [aacraid]
  aac_eh_reset+0x3a8/0x5d0 [aacraid]
  scsi_try_host_reset+0x74/0x180
  scsi_eh_ready_devs+0xc70/0x1510
  scsi_error_handler+0x624/0xa20

This patch prevents the crash by changing the order of the
deinitialization in this path of aacraid: first we clear the IRQ, then
we free other resources. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
