Subject: [PATCH v2] hwrng: stm32: fix usage_count leak when autosuspend_delay is negative
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:34:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811063442.3058074-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
stm32_rng_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but runtime PM is
enabled with pm_runtime_enable() and the matching
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() is not called on driver teardown.
If the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value while autosuspend
is enabled, the runtime PM core increments usage_count to prevent
runtime suspend. Without calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
during teardown, this reference is not dropped and usage_count remains
unbalanced.
Use devm_pm_runtime_enable() so that pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
and pm_runtime_disable() are automatically called on probe failure and
driver teardown. With runtime PM cleanup handled by devres,
stm32_rng_remove() is no longer needed.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
Fixes: c6a97c42e399 ("hwrng: stm32 - add support for STM32 HW RNG")

v2:
- Replace pm_runtime_enable() with devm_pm_runtime_enable() to handle
runtime PM cleanup through devres.
- Remove stm32_rng_remove() and the manual cleanup on the probe failure
path.
