Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: shut down the unthrottle timer on removal
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 02:03:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112070357.38870-1-mhun512@gmail.com> (raw)
aspeed_vuart_remove() deletes unthrottle_timer while the port IRQ is
still active. An interrupt can re-arm the timer before port shutdown,
allowing its callback to access freed driver data.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() to prevent rearming. Keep it before
serial8250_unregister_port(), which releases the register mapping
used by the callback.
Found by a static analysis tool under development.
Compile-tested with W=1 for arm64 and x86_64.
Not tested on hardware.
Fixes: 5909c0bf9c7a ("serial/aspeed-vuart: Implement quick throttle mechanism")
