Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mISDN: fix socket/device lifetime and naming races
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:34:25 +0545 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1776446840.git.shuvampandey1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414071322.30851-1-shuvampandey1@gmail.com>
This is a respin of the original get_mdevice() reference leak fix.
Patch 1 makes unregister wait for the last device reference and closes
sockets that still point at the device before delete_stack() runs. It
also serializes bind against unregister so a new socket cannot attach
once teardown has started.
Patch 2 drops the temporary get_mdevice() references from IMGETDEVINFO
and IMSETDEVNAME, and serializes those ioctl paths against unregister.
Patch 3 keeps an mISDN-owned copy of the device name so ioctl, sysfs, and
debug paths no longer depend on the kobject name storage remaining stable
across device_rename().

This series was developed with AI assistance. I reviewed, revised, and
tested it, and I take responsibility for the submission.

Changes in v2:
- split the fix into three focused patches
- close sockets before delete_stack() and wait for the final device release
- serialize bind and ioctl lookup/rename paths against unregister
- cache stable device names for mISDN paths outside the kobject
- keep existing debug behavior while switching layer1 name reads to the cached name
- document the device_lock(dev) -> lock_sock(sk) ordering
- build-test the series on arm64 with W=1 for drivers/isdn/mISDN and
drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN
Shuvam Pandey (3):
mISDN: serialize socket teardown against device unregister
mISDN: socket: drop temporary references from get_mdevice()
mISDN: cache stable device names outside the kobject
