That said, I just tried the quick and obvious thing over lunch and it does *seem* to be OK: ----->8----- From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] drm: hdlcd: Fix cleanup order If hdlcd_drm_bind() fails at drm_fbdev_cma_init(), its cleanup will call drm_mode_config_cleanup() as if to balance drm_mode_config_reset(). The net result is that drm_connector_cleanup() will clean up the active connectors long before component_unbind_all() gets called, so when the connector later tries to clean up itself after being unbound, Bad Things can happen: [ 4.121888] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 [ 4.129951] pgd = ffffff80091e0000 [ 4.133345] [00000000] *pgd=00000009ffffe003, *pud=00000009ffffe003, *pmd=0000000000000000 [ 4.141613] Internal error: Oops: 96000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 4.147144] Modules linked in: [ 4.150188] CPU: 0 PID: 122 Comm: kworker/u12:2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2+ #989 [ 4.157097] Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r1) (DT) [ 4.162981] Workqueue: deferwq deferred_probe_work_func [ 4.168173] task: ffffffc975d93200 task.stack: ffffffc975dac000 [ 4.174055] PC is at drm_connector_cleanup+0x58/0x1c0 [ 4.179074] LR is at tda998x_unbind+0x24/0x40 [ 4.183401] pc : [<ffffff80084c46f0>] lr : [<ffffff800850414c>] pstate: 00000045 [ 4.190750] sp : ffffffc975dafa10 [ 4.194041] x29: ffffffc975dafa10 x28: ffffffc9768152a8 [ 4.199325] x27: ffffffc97ff46450 x26: ffffff8008d99000 [ 4.204608] x25: dead000000000100 x24: dead000000000200 [ 4.209891] x23: ffffffc976bf91e8 x22: 0000000000000000 [ 4.215172] x21: ffffffc976bf9170 x20: ffffffc976bf9170 [ 4.220454] x19: ffffffc976bf9018 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 4.225737] x17: 0000000074ce71ee x16: 000000008ff5d35f [ 4.231019] x15: ffffffc97681e91c x14: ffffffffffffffff [ 4.236301] x13: ffffffc97681e185 x12: 0000000000000038 [ 4.241583] x11: 0101010101010101 x10: 0000000000000000 [ 4.246866] x9 : 0000000040000000 x8 : 0000000000210d00 [ 4.252148] x7 : ffffffc97fea8c00 x6 : 000000000000001b [ 4.257430] x5 : ffffff80084b7b8c x4 : 0000000000000080 [ 4.262712] x3 : ffffff8008504128 x2 : ffffffc975df3800 [ 4.267993] x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000 ...
