Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/3] gpio: mpsse: ensure worker is torn down
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:44:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112174441.830780-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026011202-scheming-operating-3cbb@gregkh>
From: Mary Strodl <mstrodl@csh.rit.edu>
[ Upstream commit 179ef1127d7a4f09f0e741fa9f30b8a8e7886271 ]
When an IRQ worker is running, unplugging the device would cause a
crash. The sealevel hardware this driver was written for was not
hotpluggable, so I never realized it.
This change uses a spinlock to protect a list of workers, which
it tears down on disconnect.
