Subject: opp: Fix use-after-free in lazy_opp_tables after probe deferral
From: Stephan Gerhold <stephan.gerhold@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b2a2ab039bd58f51355e33d7d3fc64605d7f870d upstream.
When dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths() in _allocate_opp_table() returns
-EPROBE_DEFER, the opp_table is freed again, to wait until all the
interconnect paths are available.
However, if the OPP table is using required-opps then it may already
have been added to the global lazy_opp_tables list. The error path
does not remove the opp_table from the list again.
This can cause crashes later when the provider of the required-opps
is added, since we will iterate over OPP tables that have already been
freed. E.g.:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference when read
CPU: 0 PID: 7 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc3
PC is at _of_add_opp_table_v2 (include/linux/of.h:949
drivers/opp/of.c:98 drivers/opp/of.c:344 drivers/opp/of.c:404
drivers/opp/of.c:1032) -> lazy_link_required_opp_table()
Fix this by calling _of_clear_opp_table() to remove the opp_table from
the list and clear other allocated resources. While at it, also add the
missing mutex_destroy() calls in the error path.
