Subject: [PATCH v3] extcon: Fixed sysfs duplicate filename issue
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 10:49:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024024946.16618-1-michael@allwinnertech.com> (raw)

With current extcon_dev_unregister() timing, ida_free is before
device_unregister(), that may cause current id re-alloc to another
device in extcon_dev_register() context but sysfs filename path not
removal completed yet.

The right timing shows below:
on extcon_dev_register: ida_alloc() -> device_register()
on extcon_dev_unregister: device_unregister() -> ida_free()

stack information when an error occurs:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/extcon/extcon1'
Call trace:
 sysfs_warn_dup+0x68/0x88
 sysfs_do_create_link_sd+0x94/0xdc
 sysfs_create_link+0x30/0x48
 device_add_class_symlinks+0xb4/0x12c
 device_add+0x1e0/0x48c
 device_register+0x20/0x34
 extcon_dev_register+0x3b8/0x5c4

Fixes: 7bba9e81a6fb ("extcon: Use unique number for the extcon device ID")
