Re: [PATCH v2] irqchip: imx-irqsteer: Convert to devm_pm_runtime_enable()

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] Adding devm_pm_runtime_enable() introduces a failure path that fails to deregister chained IRQ handlers, leading to a Use-After-Free.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The irq_domain created during probe is leaked and left registered on error paths, creating a dangling pointer risk.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v2] irqchip: imx-irqsteer: Convert to devm_pm_runtime_enable() ---
commit 3959004c7e2715ec92cba0eb90ac30fdaf1b65c2
Author: Fabio Estevam <festevam@gmail.com>
Subject: irqchip: imx-irqsteer: Convert to devm_pm_runtime_enable()

This commit converts the driver to use devm_pm_runtime_enable() to
automatically disable runtime PM when the device is removed, fixing an
unbalanced pm_runtime_enable warning.

[Severity: High]
If devm_pm_runtime_enable() fails, does this new error path leave the chained
IRQ handlers registered?

Earlier in imx_irqsteer_probe(), we register the chained handlers:

    for (i = 0; i < data->irq_count; i++) {
        ...
        irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(data->irq[i],
                                         imx_irqsteer_irq_handler,
                                         data);
    }

When we jump to the "out" label on failure, devres will free the "data"
structure. If a parent IRQ fires after this, could imx_irqsteer_irq_handler()
dereference the freed pointer?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this error path also leak the IRQ
domain?

Earlier in probe, the domain is created:

    data->domain = irq_domain_create_linear(dev_fwnode(&pdev->dev), ...

The "out" label only disables the IPG clock, but doesn't call
irq_domain_remove(). Is it possible that the IRQ domain is left registered
in the system with its host_data pointing to the freed "data" structure,
leading to a use-after-free if IRQ mappings are attempted later?
