This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mmc: davinci: Don't strip remove function when driver is builtin to the 4.19-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: mmc-davinci-don-t-strip-remove-function-when-driver-.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 13eb98409a95b2a6eb1f84bc79c623314d9ab6f3 Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Mar 24 12:40:17 2024 +0100 mmc: davinci: Don't strip remove function when driver is builtin [ Upstream commit 55c421b364482b61c4c45313a535e61ed5ae4ea3 ] Using __exit for the remove function results in the remove callback being discarded with CONFIG_MMC_DAVINCI=y. When such a device gets unbound (e.g. using sysfs or hotplug), the driver is just removed without the cleanup being performed. This results in resource leaks. Fix it by compiling in the remove callback unconditionally. This also fixes a W=1 modpost warning: WARNING: modpost: drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc: section mismatch in reference: davinci_mmcsd_driver+0x10 (section: .data) -> davinci_mmcsd_remove (section: .exit.text) Fixes: b4cff4549b7a ("DaVinci: MMC: MMC/SD controller driver for DaVinci family") Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240324114017.231936-2-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c b/drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c index 8af5df181d764..65b511f440c82 100644 --- a/drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c @@ -1361,7 +1361,7 @@ static int davinci_mmcsd_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) return ret; } -static void __exit davinci_mmcsd_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) +static void davinci_mmcsd_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct mmc_davinci_host *host = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); @@ -1415,7 +1415,7 @@ static struct platform_driver davinci_mmcsd_driver = { .of_match_table = davinci_mmc_dt_ids, }, .probe = davinci_mmcsd_probe, - .remove_new = __exit_p(davinci_mmcsd_remove), + .remove_new = davinci_mmcsd_remove, .id_table = davinci_mmc_devtype, };
