If the module can load the RCA but not the firmware binary, it will call the cleanup functions. Then unloading the module causes general protection fault due to double free. Do not call the cleanup functions in tasdev_fw_ready. general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6f2b8a2bff4c8fec: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI Call Trace: <TASK> ? die_addr+0x36/0x90 ? exc_general_protection+0x1c5/0x430 ? asm_exc_general_protection+0x26/0x30 ? tasdevice_config_info_remove+0x6d/0xd0 [snd_soc_tas2781_fmwlib] tas2781_hda_unbind+0xaa/0x100 [snd_hda_scodec_tas2781_i2c] component_unbind+0x2e/0x50 component_unbind_all+0x92/0xa0 component_del+0xa8/0x140 tas2781_hda_remove.isra.0+0x32/0x60 [snd_hda_scodec_tas2781_i2c] i2c_device_remove+0x26/0xb0 Signed-off-by: Gergo Koteles <soyer@xxxxxx> --- sound/pci/hda/tas2781_hda_i2c.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/tas2781_hda_i2c.c b/sound/pci/hda/tas2781_hda_i2c.c index fb802802939e..c6b292606dfa 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/tas2781_hda_i2c.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/tas2781_hda_i2c.c @@ -550,11 +550,6 @@ static void tasdev_fw_ready(const struct firmware *fmw, void *context) tas2781_save_calibration(tas_priv); out: - if (tas_priv->fw_state == TASDEVICE_DSP_FW_FAIL) { - /*If DSP FW fail, kcontrol won't be created */ - tasdevice_config_info_remove(tas_priv); - tasdevice_dsp_remove(tas_priv); - } mutex_unlock(&tas_priv->codec_lock); if (fmw) release_firmware(fmw); base-commit: ffc253263a1375a65fa6c9f62a893e9767fbebfa -- 2.43.0
