Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] USB: serial: fix driver deregistration order
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 17:45:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821154546.118809-4-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821154546.118809-1-johan@kernel.org>

USB serial driver modules register one driver for the USB bus and one or
more drivers for the ports on the USB serial bus.

When unloading a driver module, the USB driver must be deregistered
before the USB serial bus drivers so that I/O is stopped before
unbinding the ports to avoid use-after-free in completion handlers
accessing port data.

Note that the "new_id" attributes must first be removed to prevent new
ids from being added and triggering a probe of the USB driver after it
has been deregistered.

Fixes: 765e0ba62613 ("usb-serial: new API for driver registration")
