Subject: [PATCH] drm/panthor: Fix UAF race between device unplug and FW event processing
Date: Wed,  8 Oct 2025 12:53:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008105322.4077661-1-ketil.johnsen@arm.com> (raw)

The function panthor_fw_unplug() will free the FW memory sections.
The problem is that there could still be pending FW events which are yet
not handled at this point. process_fw_events_work() can in this case try
to access said freed memory.

The fix is to stop FW event processing after IRQs are disabled but before
the FW memory is freed.
