Seems wonky, the devs is just supposed to be a side thing, nothing should be using it as a primary reference count for a tpm. The bug here is only that tpm_common_open() did not get a kref on the chip before putting it in priv and linking it to the fd. See the comment before tpm_try_get_ops() indicating the caller must already have taken care to ensure the chip is valid. This should be all you need to fix the oops: diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c index 1784530b8387bb..1b738dca7fffb5 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c @@ -105,6 +105,7 @@ static void tpm_timeout_work(struct work_struct *work) void tpm_common_open(struct file *file, struct tpm_chip *chip, struct file_priv *priv, struct tpm_space *space) { + get_device(&priv->chip.dev); priv->chip = chip; priv->space = space; priv->response_read = true; @@ -261,6 +262,7 @@ void tpm_common_release(struct file *file, struct file_priv *priv) flush_work(&priv->timeout_work); file->private_data = NULL; priv->response_length = 0; + put_device(&chip->dev); } int __init tpm_dev_common_init(void) > Fix this also by installing an action handler that puts chip->devs as soon > as the chip is unregistered. > > Fixes: fdc915f7f719 ("tpm: expose spaces via a device link /dev/tpmrm<n>") > Fixes: 8979b02aaf1d ("tpm: Fix reference count to main device") > Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx> > drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c | 18 +++++++++++++++--- > drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ftpm_tee.c | 2 ++ > drivers/char/tpm/tpm_vtpm_proxy.c | 1 + > 3 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c > index ddaeceb..3ace199 100644 > +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c > @@ -360,8 +360,7 @@ struct tpm_chip *tpm_chip_alloc(struct device *pdev, > * while cdevs is in use.
