Subject: [PATCH 0/2] USB: serial: fix port tear down use-after-free
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:54:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820145402.434447-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
When addressing a port probe ordering issue in digi_acceleport recently
I realised that we have a corresponding general problem during
disconnect, but I didn't have time to address it straight away.
Now syzbot has managed to trigger one of its symptoms and people have
already started submitting incomplete band-aids so here is a proper
fix.
When testing the fix I also noticed that we have an ordering issue when
deregistering drivers that can result in similar use-after-free.
