Subject: [PATCH v1] thermal: core: Fix thermal zone device registration error path
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:33:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2849815.mvXUDI8C0e@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
If thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after registering
a thermal zone device, it needs to wait for the tz->removal completion
like thermal_zone_device_unregister(), in case user space has managed
to take a reference to the thermal zone device's kobject, in which case
thermal_release() may not be called by the error path itself and tz may
be freed prematurely.
Add the missing wait_for_completion() call to the thermal zone device
registration error path.
Fixes: 04e6ccfc93c5 ("thermal: core: Fix NULL pointer dereference in zone registration error path")
