[PATCH v4] PCI: endpoint: Fix NULL pointer dereference for ->get_features()

[PATCH v4] PCI: endpoint: Fix NULL pointer dereference for ->get_features()

[Shradha Todi]

get_features ops of pci_epc_ops may return NULL, causing NULL pointer
dereference in pci_epf_test_bind function. Let us add a check for
pci_epc_feature pointer in pci_epf_test_bind before we access it to avoid
any such NULL pointer dereference and return -ENOTSUPP in case
pci_epc_feature is not found.

When the patch is not applied and EPC features is not implemented in the
platform driver, we see the following dump due to kernel NULL pointer
dereference.

Description and call trace don't correlate with the proposed code change.

The code in pci_epf_test_bind() doesn't dereference epc_features, at
least in direct manner.

Thanks for the review. Yes, you're right. The dereference does not happen in
the pci_epf_test_bind() itself, but in pci_epf_test_alloc_space() being
called within. We will update the line "causing NULL pointer dereference in
pci_epf_test_bind function. " in the commit message to "causing NULL pointer
dereference in pci_epf_test_alloc_space function. " Would that be good
enough?

I have no idea, just saw that the rest of the code at least partially
prepared to deal with epc_features == NULL, maybe
pci_epf_test_alloc_space() should be update to handle epc_features == NULL.

In current implementation, epc_features has been used in quite a few places
in the file without proper checks. Anyway, there is no point in proceeding
to bind the driver with no EPC features implemented, so we feel it's best to
return as soon as possible instead of going ahead and returning error at a
later point. (eg: during allocation). I checked that alloc function is not
being called anywhere else except for the bind function.

Remove the timestamp information as well from the commit log, that's
completely irrelevant information.

I shall mark this as "changes requested", waiting for a new version
(please keep the review tags).
