Subject: [PATCH 7.1.y 1/2] firmware_loader: Add cancel helper for async requests
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 23:32:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714033256.2396704-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071331-subarctic-arrival-f0d8@gregkh>
From: Cássio Gabriel <cassiogabrielcontato@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit b9bdd68b8b979c7e9de58b2e7d21e1d7d932c755 ]
request_firmware_nowait() keeps the callback module pinned and holds
a device reference until the firmware work completes.
Callers still have no way to cancel or synchronize the queued callback
before tearing down their driver-private state.
Track scheduled async firmware work in an internal list and add
request_firmware_nowait_cancel(). The helper cancels work matching the
device, callback context and callback function. It cancels work that has
not started yet and waits for an already-running callback to return. If
the request has already completed, it is a no-op.
Keep the existing request_firmware_nowait() lifetime model manual. A
devres-managed variant can be layered on top separately if needed.
