[PATCH 5.14 137/168] watchdog: Fix NULL pointer dereference when releasing cdev

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Curtis Klein <curtis.klein@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c7b178dae139f8857edc50888cfbf251cd974a38 ]

watchdog_hrtimer_pretimeout_stop needs the watchdog device to have a
valid pointer to the watchdog core data to stop the pretimeout hrtimer.
Therefore it needs to be called before the pointers are cleared in
watchdog_cdev_unregister.

Fixes: 7b7d2fdc8c3e ("watchdog: Add hrtimer-based pretimeout feature")
