Subject: [PATCH 1/5] spi: fix use-after-free on controller registration failure
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:18:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312151817.32100-2-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312151817.32100-1-johan@kernel.org>
Make sure to deregister from driver core also in the unlikely event that
per-cpu statistics allocation fails during controller registration to
avoid use-after-free (of driver resources) and unclocked register
accesses.
Fixes: 6598b91b5ac3 ("spi: spi.c: Convert statistics to per-cpu u64_stats_t")
