Subject: [PATCH v4 15/16] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix SCMI device destroy lifetimes
Date: Wed, 08 Jul 2026 10:00:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708-scmi_core_fixes-v4-15-53142cd60b63@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708-scmi_core_fixes-v4-0-53142cd60b63@kernel.org>
scmi_child_dev_find() drops the reference returned by
device_find_child() before returning the scmi_device pointer. A
concurrent unregister can then release the device while the destroy path
is still using the returned pointer.
Make the lookup helper return the device_find_child() reference and keep
it until scmi_device_destroy() has finished unregistering the child.
Also split device_unregister() in __scmi_device_destroy() so the SCMI bus
ID is not made reusable until after device_del() has removed the old
scmi_dev.N name from sysfs. This avoids a new SCMI device reusing the
same ID while the old device is still registered.
The final device release callback is also a possible cleanup path when
SCMI children are deleted by driver core recursion rather than
__scmi_device_destroy(). Release the SCMI bus ID from a common helper
used by destroy, register-failure and final-release paths, and clear
scmi_dev->id after freeing it so the final release cannot free the same
ID again.
Fixes: 9ca67840c0dd ("firmware: arm_scmi: Balance device refcount when destroying devices")
