Subject: [PATCH v2 04/14] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix SCMI device destroy lifetimes
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:52:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701-scmi_core_fixes-v2-4-1f5e85553f73@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701-scmi_core_fixes-v2-0-1f5e85553f73@kernel.org>
scmi_child_dev_find() drops the reference returned by
device_find_child() before returning the scmi_device pointer. A
concurrent unregister can then release the device while the destroy path
is still using the returned pointer.
Make the lookup helper return the device_find_child() reference and keep
it until scmi_device_destroy() has finished unregistering the child.
Also split device_unregister() in __scmi_device_destroy() so the SCMI bus
ID is not made reusable until after device_del() has removed the old
scmi_dev.N name from sysfs. This avoids a new SCMI device reusing the
same ID while the old device is still registered.
Fixes: 46edb8d1322c ("firmware: arm_scmi: provide the mandatory device release callback")
Fixes: 9ca67840c0dd ("firmware: arm_scmi: Balance device refcount when destroying devices")
