Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] i2c: imx: Cancel hrtimer before clearing slave pointer
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 10:38:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629023829.152651-3-liem16213@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629023829.152651-1-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.
