Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: prevent timer rearm during teardown
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 14:06:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806060613.1830-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
at91_ping() rearms the watchdog timer from its callback. timer_delete()
neither waits for a running callback nor prevents it from rearming the
timer, so probe failure or driver removal can leave the timer accessing the
devm-allocated at91wdt after it has been freed.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() on both teardown paths. It waits for a running
callback and rejects any attempt by the callback to rearm the timer.
Fixes: 5161b31dc39a ("watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: better watchdog support")
