I was puzzled while looking at /proc/interrupts and random things showed
up between reboots. This occurred more often but I realised it later. The
"correct" output should be:
|38: 11861 atmel-aic5 2 Level ttyS0
but I saw sometimes
|38: 6426 atmel-aic5 2 Level tty1
and accounted it wrongly as correct. This is use after free and the
former example randomly got the "old" pointer which pointed to the same
content. With SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and HARDENED I even got
|38: 7067 atmel-aic5 2 Level E=Started User Manager for UID 0
or other nonsense.
As it turns out the tty, pointer that is accessed in atmel_startup(), is
freed() before atmel_shutdown(). It seems to happen quite often that the
tty for ttyS0 is allocated and freed while ->shutdown is not invoked. I
don't do anything special - just a systemd boot :)
Use dev_name(&pdev->dev) as the IRQ name for request_irq(). This exists
as long as the driver is loaded so no use-after-free here.
