Currently ffa_drv->remove() is called unconditionally from ffa_device_remove(). Since the driver registration doesn't check for it and allows it to be registered without .remove callback, we need to check for the presence of it before executing it from ffa_device_remove() to above a NULL pointer dereference like the one below: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 | Mem abort info: | ESR = 0x0000000086000004 | EC = 0x21: IABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits | SET = 0, FnV = 0 | EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 | FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault | user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000881cc8000 | [0000000000000000] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 | Internal error: Oops: 0000000086000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP | CPU: 3 PID: 130 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7 #6 | Hardware name: FVP Base RevC (DT) | pstate: 63402809 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO +TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=-c) | pc : 0x0 | lr : ffa_device_remove+0x20/0x2c | Call trace: | 0x0 | device_release_driver_internal+0x16c/0x260 | driver_detach+0x90/0xd0 | bus_remove_driver+0xdc/0x11c | driver_unregister+0x30/0x54 | ffa_driver_unregister+0x14/0x20 | cleanup_module+0x18/0xeec | __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x234/0x378 | invoke_syscall+0x40/0x108 | el0_svc_common+0xb4/0xf0 | do_el0_svc+0x30/0xa4 | el0_svc+0x2c/0x7c | el0t_64_sync_handler+0x84/0xf0 | el0t_64_sync+0x190/0x194 Fixes: 244f5d597e1e ("firmware: arm_ffa: Add missing remove callback to ffa_bus_type") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230419-ffa_fixes_6-4-v2-1-d9108e43a176@xxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/bus.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/bus.c +++ b/drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/bus.c @@ -53,7 +53,8 @@ static void ffa_device_remove(struct dev { struct ffa_driver *ffa_drv = to_ffa_driver(dev->driver); - ffa_drv->remove(to_ffa_dev(dev)); + if (ffa_drv->remove) + ffa_drv->remove(to_ffa_dev(dev)); } static int ffa_device_uevent(struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env) Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx are queue-5.15/firmware-arm_ffa-fix-ffa-device-names-for-logical-partitions.patch queue-5.15/firmware-arm_ffa-check-if-ffa_driver-remove-is-present-before-executing.patch
