[PATCH v2 1/3] spi: fix use-after-free at controller deregistration

[PATCH v2 1/3] spi: fix use-after-free at controller deregistration

[Johan Hovold]

The controller is typically freed as part of device_unregister() so
store the bus id before deregistration to avoid use-after-free when the
id is later released.

[PATCH v2 2/3] spi: document odd controller reference handling

[Johan Hovold]

Document the fact that a reference to the controller is dropped as part
of deregistration.

This is an odd pattern as the reference is typically taken in
__spi_alloc_controller() rather than spi_register_controller(). Most
controller drivers gets it right these days and notably the
device-managed interface relies on this behaviour.

[PATCH v2 3/3] spi: spi-axi: fix potential use-after-free after deregistration

[Johan Hovold]

Take an extra reference to the controller before deregistering it to
prevent use-after-free in the interrupt handler in case an interrupt
fires before the line is disabled.

v2
 - Add Fixes tag and update commit message to reflect that this is a
   potential issue also for this driver (and not just for drivers using
   shared interrupts) as noted by Lars-Peter.
