Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: wan: fsl_ucc_hdlc: release HDLC device on remove
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 22:30:48 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803133048.42650-1-mhun512@gmail.com> (raw)
ucc_hdlc_probe() registers an HDLC netdev whose private pointer refers to
the separately allocated ucc_hdlc_private object. The remove path frees
that private object without unregistering or freeing the netdev, leaving
a registered device with a dangling private pointer.
Unregister and free the HDLC device before releasing its private object.
An active device must be closed before detach_hdlc_protocol(), because
the detach path resets dev->flags and clears IFF_UP. Otherwise the later
unregister_netdevice() skips ndo_stop, leaving NAPI, the UCC and its IRQ
active while their backing resources are freed.
Close the device inside unregister_hdlc_device() while RTNL is held and
the HDLC protocol is still attached. This lets uhdlc_close() disable NAPI,
stop the UCC and free the IRQ before the remove path releases the DMA and
private resources.
Fixes: c19b6d246a35 ("drivers/net: support hdlc function for QE-UCC")

Changes in v2:
- Close an active HDLC device before detaching its protocol so ndo_stop
performs the NAPI, UCC and IRQ teardown noted by Simon Horman's review.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260728171545.49247-1-mhun512@gmail.com/
