Subject: [PATCH 2/2] EDAC: fsl_ddr: manage mci lifetime via devres to fix remove UAF
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 12:40:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719194009.117532-3-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260719194009.117532-1-rosenp@gmail.com>

fsl_mc_err_probe() requests the shared interrupt with devm_request_irq(),
passing mci as the handler context. At removal fsl_mc_err_remove() calls
edac_mc_free(mci) explicitly, but the devm-requested IRQ is only torn
down by devres afterwards. Between edac_mc_free() and the IRQ release,
another device sharing the line can fire and fsl_mc_isr() will
dereference the freed mci and its pdata.

Register an edac_mc_free() callback via devm_add_action_or_reset() right
after edac_mc_alloc(), so mci is owned by devres and freed only after the
devm IRQ is released (devres runs actions in LIFO order). Drop the
explicit edac_mc_free() from both the probe error paths and
fsl_mc_err_remove(); edac_mc_del_mc() is still called explicitly at
remove time so the edac device is unregistered before the deferred free.

This also lets the now-redundant devres group open/release/remove calls
be removed.

Built for arm64 (defconfig + CONFIG_EDAC_FSL_DDR) with LLVM=1;
drivers/edac/fsl_ddr_edac.o compiles cleanly and passes checkpatch --strict.

Fixes: ea2eb9a8b620 ("EDAC, fsl-ddr: Separate FSL DDR driver from MPC85xx")
