Subject: [PATCH v2] crypto: atmel-sha204a - Fix potential UAF and memory leak in remove path
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 20:36:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314193627.728469-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Unregister the hwrng to prevent new ->read() calls and flush the Atmel
I2C workqueue before teardown to prevent a potential UAF if a queued
callback runs while the device is being removed.

Drop the early return to ensure sysfs entries are removed and
->hwrng.priv is freed, preventing a memory leak.

Fixes: da001fb651b0 ("crypto: atmel-i2c - add support for SHA204A random number generator")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Changes in v2:
- Unregister hwrng to avoid new ->read() calls and then flush the queue
- Drop the ->tfm_count check and error logging after flushing (Herbert)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260221190424.85984-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
