[PATCH] power: supply: rt9455: quiesce delayed work before teardown

[PATCH] power: supply: rt9455: quiesce delayed work before teardown

[Fan Wu]

The threaded IRQ handler can queue pwr_rdy_work,
max_charging_time_work and batt_presence_work.  pwr_rdy_work and
batt_presence_work can also queue max_charging_time_work, while
batt_presence_work can requeue itself.

rt9455_remove() cancels max_charging_time_work before
batt_presence_work.  The latter can therefore queue
max_charging_time_work after it has already been cancelled:

  rt9455_remove()                   workqueue
    cancel pwr_rdy_work
    cancel max_charging_time_work
                                      batt_presence_work queues
                                        max_charging_time_work
    cancel batt_presence_work
    return
    devres frees rt9455_info
                                      max_charging_time_work dereferences
                                        rt9455_info

The IRQ also remains registered until devres cleanup and can queue more
work after any of the cancellation calls.  If rt9455_hw_init() fails
after the IRQ has been requested, probe returns without cancelling work
that may already have been queued.  A pending callback can then access
rt9455_info after it has been freed.

Explicitly free the managed IRQ before cancelling the delayed works in
both paths.  This waits for the threaded handler and prevents it from
queuing more work.  Cancel pwr_rdy_work and batt_presence_work before
max_charging_time_work because both can queue the latter.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

Manually freeing device managed resources is ugly. Register the
rt9455_cancel_all_delayed_works() function via devm_add_action_or_reset()
after the devm_power_supply_register() call in the probe function
instead.
