Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] ASoC: cs35l56: Prevent double-free of debugfs
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:34:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610093432.557375-3-rf@opensource.cirrus.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610093432.557375-1-rf@opensource.cirrus.com>

Invalidate the debugfs pointer after debugfs_remove_recursive() in
cs35l56_remove_cal_debugfs(). This prevents a double-free situation when
a future commit adds proper failure cleanup in cs35l56_component_probe().

As described by Sashiko (including the future cs35l56_component_probe()
cleanup commit):

During a normal component unbind, cs35l56_component_remove() calls
cs35l56_remove_cal_debugfs() which removes the directory but leaves
a dangling pointer.

If the component is later bound again, but _cs35l56_component_probe()
fails early (for example, if the init_completion times out), this new
error path will call cs35l56_component_remove(). This causes
cs35l56_remove_cal_debugfs() to be called again with the dangling
cs35l56_base->debugfs pointer from the previous lifecycle, resulting in
a use-after-free in debugfs_remove_recursive().

Fixes: f7097161e94c ("ASoC: cs35l56: Add common code for factory calibration")
