Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] i2c: imx: Cancel hrtimer before clearing slave pointer
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 10:58:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626025846.106157-3-liem16213@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626025846.106157-1-liem16213@gmail.com>

In i2c_imx_unreg_slave(), the slave pointer is set to NULL after
disabling interrupts.  However, a pending interrupt might already
have started the hrtimer (i2c_imx_slave_timeout) before the pointer
was cleared.  If the hrtimer fires after i2c_imx->slave is set to
NULL, the timer callback i2c_imx_slave_finish_op() will call
i2c_imx_slave_event() with a NULL slave pointer,which results in a
use-after-free / NULL pointer dereference.

Fix by canceling the hrtimer and waiting for it to complete after
disabling interrupts, before clearing the slave pointer.
