Hi,
i discovered a random oops during probe of brcmfmac on Raspberry Pi 3 in yesterdays kernelci run for net-next [1]. I need to point out there is no DT entry for the wifi chip on Raspberry Pi 3 in the lack of a driver for the necessary GPIO expander. So the "HT Avail timeout" is expected.

I was also able to trigger this oops by calling "modprobe brcmfmac" on my Raspberry Pi 3 with latest linux-next.

Any help to fix this is appreciated.

the issue still persists in linux-next-20171122:

...

seems like a use-after-free. We do a device_release_driver() twice. Once
for sdio func #1 and for sdio func #2. This was introduced by:

      brcmfmac: unbind all devices upon failure in firmware callback

What we do is:

          device_release_driver(dev);
          device_release_driver(&sdiodev->func[2]->dev);

with the assumption that dev == &sdiodev->func[1]->dev. I wonder if that
is always true. The error print did not make it in your log. Maybe we
should make it explicit here (see below).

i tried it, but the issue still occurs.

Maybe this is helpful but this issue doesn't happend everytime. Sometimes i need 2 attemps via unloading/loading.


I just realized the remove of sdio func #1 removes everything so we must first remove sdio func #2. Can you try the patch below.

Regards,
Arend
