It is probably not required for the LED subsystem, but it would be nice to keep the file consistent. > @@ -100,10 +195,15 @@ static ssize_t device_name_store(struct device *dev, > size_t size) > { > struct led_netdev_data *trigger_data = led_trigger_get_drvdata(dev); > + struct net_device *old_net = trigger_data->net_dev; > + char old_device_name[IFNAMSIZ]; > > if (size >= IFNAMSIZ) > return -EINVAL; > > + /* Backup old device name */ > + memcpy(old_device_name, trigger_data->device_name, IFNAMSIZ); > + > cancel_delayed_work_sync(&trigger_data->work); > > spin_lock_bh(&trigger_data->lock); > @@ -122,6 +222,19 @@ static ssize_t device_name_store(struct device *dev, > trigger_data->net_dev = > dev_get_by_name(&init_net, trigger_data->device_name); > > + if (!validate_baseline_state(trigger_data)) { You probably want to validate trigger_data->net_dev is not NULL first.

It is trying to undo a dev_put() somewhere? You should not actually do a put until you know you really do not old_net, otherwise there is a danger it disappears and you cannot undo. > @@ -228,13 +349,22 @@ static ssize_t interval_store(struct device *dev, > return ret; > > /* impose some basic bounds on the timer interval */ > - if (value >= 5 && value <= 10000) { > - cancel_delayed_work_sync(&trigger_data->work); > + if (value < 5 || value > 10000) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + cancel_delayed_work_sync(&trigger_data->work); > + > + atomic_set(&trigger_data->interval, msecs_to_jiffies(value)); > > - atomic_set(&trigger_data->interval, msecs_to_jiffies(value)); > - set_baseline_state(trigger_data); /* resets timer */ > + if (!validate_baseline_state(trigger_data)) { > + /* Restore old interval on validation error */ > + atomic_set(&trigger_data->interval, old_interval); > + trigger_data->mode = old_mode; I think you need to schedule the work again, since you cancelled it. It is at the end of the work that the next work is scheduled, and so it will not self recover. Andrew
