Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] mailbox: altera: shut down RX polling timer on channel teardown
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:02:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110160212.2387620-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107053333-failed-6.6-0cf10e65639c@kernel.org>

From: Runyu Xiao <runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 0cf10e65639cba32d05994f85e6a8f08dd0ffe08 ]

The RX polling callback unconditionally rearms the timer after it
processes mailbox data.  altera_mbox_shutdown() uses
timer_delete_sync(), which waits for a running callback but does not
prevent that callback from rearming the timer after the deletion.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() for the final polling teardown so the timer
cannot be queued again while the mailbox channel is being released.
The timer is reinitialized with timer_setup() on a later channel startup,
so polling mode remains reusable.
