Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] EDAC/device: Don't re-arm workqueue during teardown
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:35:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710113548.46266-2-inasj268@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710113548.46266-1-inasj268@gmail.com>
edac_device_del_device() stops the workqueue then removes the sysfs
attributes. However, writing to poll_msec triggers
edac_device_reset_delay_period(), which unconditionally re-arms the
workqueue. If writes occur during that window, the re-armed work
runs after edac_dev has been freed.
Fix this by checking op_state in reset_delay_period(). del_device()
already sets it to OP_OFFLINE before tearing down the workqueue, so
the new guard causes reset_delay_period() to skip mod_work() when
the device is being removed.
