From: Zheng Wang <zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5000fe6c27827a61d8250a7e4a1d26c3298ef4f6 ] This bug influences both st_nci_i2c_remove and st_nci_spi_remove. Take st_nci_i2c_remove as an example. In st_nci_i2c_probe, it called ndlc_probe and bound &ndlc->sm_work with llt_ndlc_sm_work. When it calls ndlc_recv or timeout handler, it will finally call schedule_work to start the work. When we call st_nci_i2c_remove to remove the driver, there may be a sequence as follows: Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in ndlc_remove CPU0 CPU1 |llt_ndlc_sm_work st_nci_i2c_remove | ndlc_remove | st_nci_remove | nci_free_device| kfree(ndev) | //free ndlc->ndev | |llt_ndlc_rcv_queue |nci_recv_frame |//use ndlc->ndev Fixes: 35630df68d60 ("NFC: st21nfcb: Add driver for STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB NFC chip") Signed-off-by: Zheng Wang <zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230312160837.2040857-1-zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c b/drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c index f26d938d240f0..12d73f9dbe9f3 100644 --- a/drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c +++ b/drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c @@ -297,13 +297,15 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(ndlc_probe); void ndlc_remove(struct llt_ndlc *ndlc) { - st_nci_remove(ndlc->ndev); - /* cancel timers */ del_timer_sync(&ndlc->t1_timer); del_timer_sync(&ndlc->t2_timer); ndlc->t2_active = false; ndlc->t1_active = false; + /* cancel work */ + cancel_work_sync(&ndlc->sm_work); + + st_nci_remove(ndlc->ndev); skb_queue_purge(&ndlc->rcv_q); skb_queue_purge(&ndlc->send_q); -- 2.39.2
