Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Input: applespi - register touchpad device synchronously in probe
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:15:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712161527.7350-2-fourdollars@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260712161527.7350-1-fourdollars@debian.org>
Touchpad registration is currently done asynchronously from a worker
thread because it can sleep. This leads to high-severity unbind/remove
use-after-free vulnerabilities and debugfs race conditions (userspace
opening tp_dim debugfs file before touchpad_input_dev is initialized).
Simplify the driver and make it robust by making the touchpad detection and
registration synchronous in the probe function. Introduce a timeout of
3 seconds when waiting for the touchpad info response packet, and add
3 second timeouts to the drain functions to prevent suspend/remove hangs.
Define probe_type as PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS so that the probe is run
asynchronously by the driver core, preventing boot delays.
This obsoletes the need for async work cancellation on driver remove
and debugfs NULL pointer checks.
