Subject: [PATCH net] net: mctp: i3c: serialize probe with bus removal
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 15:01:18 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902060118.4025762-1-v3rdant.xiang@gmail.com> (raw)
mctp_i3c_probe() drops busdevs_lock after finding the matching bus. A
concurrent I3C_NOTIFY_BUS_REMOVE can then unregister and free the bus
netdev before probe passes its private data to mctp_i3c_add_device().
The latter consequently adds a list node through a freed mbus pointer.
Keep busdevs_lock held until the device has been added. This also
satisfies the __must_hold annotation on mctp_i3c_add_device().
Fixes: c8755b29b58e ("mctp i3c: MCTP I3C driver")
