Subject: [PATCH 2/5] spi: fix statistics allocation
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:18:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312151817.32100-3-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312151817.32100-1-johan@kernel.org>

The controller per-cpu statistics is not allocated until after the
controller has been registered with driver core, which leaves a window
where accessing the sysfs attributes can trigger a NULL-pointer
dereference.

Fix this by moving the statistics allocation to controller allocation
while tying its lifetime to that of the controller (rather than using
implicit devres).

Fixes: 6598b91b5ac3 ("spi: spi.c: Convert statistics to per-cpu u64_stats_t")
