The patch spi: fix use-after-free at controller deregistration has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 67f7b2781fafcc0f52464880154b320fea1ae982 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 11:35:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spi: fix use-after-free at controller deregistration The controller is typically freed as part of device_unregister() so store the bus id before deregistration to avoid use-after-free when the id is later released.
