This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iommu/arm-smmu: Drop if with an always false condition to the 6.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iommu-arm-smmu-drop-if-with-an-always-false-conditio.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c49e0f94bc7fbd3d7b92b32e67876ec281cf8ab8 Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 21 09:41:16 2023 +0100 iommu/arm-smmu: Drop if with an always false condition [ Upstream commit a2972cb89935160bfe515b15d28a77694723ac06 ] The remove and shutdown callback are only called after probe completed successfully. In this case platform_set_drvdata() was called with a non-NULL argument and so smmu is never NULL. Other functions in this driver also don't check for smmu being non-NULL before using it. Also note that returning an error code from a remove callback doesn't result in the device staying bound. It's still removed and devm allocated resources are freed (among others *smmu and the register mapping). So after an early exit to iommu device stayed around and using it probably oopses.
