Subject: [PATCH] spi: fix use-after-free of the add_lock mutex
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2021 09:37:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211111083713.3335171-1-michael@walle.cc> (raw)
Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on
SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of
said lock is called after the controller is already freed:
spi_unregister_controller(ctlr)
-> put_device(&ctlr->dev)
-> spi_controller_release(dev)
-> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock)
Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock().
Fixes: 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on SPI buses")
