The following crash was observed:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000158
Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP

The reason for this is that the interrupt resend mechanism happens in soft
interrupt context, which is a asynchronous mechanism versus other
operations on interrupts. free_irq() does not take resend handling into
account. Thus, the irq descriptor might be already freed before the resend
tasklet is executed. resend_irqs() does not check the return value of the
interrupt descriptor lookup and derefences the return value
unconditionally.
1):
__setup_irq
irq_startup
check_irq_resend // activate softirq to handle resend irq
2):
irq_domain_free_irqs
irq_free_descs
free_desc
call_rcu(&desc->rcu, delayed_free_desc)
3):
__do_softirq
tasklet_action
resend_irqs
desc = irq_to_desc(irq)
desc->handle_irq(desc) // desc is NULL --> Ooops
Fix this by adding a NULL pointer check in resend_irqs() before derefencing
the irq descriptor.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
